FILIPINO-STYLE BANANA KETCHUP
Sweet floral bananas stand in for tomatoes in this spicy condiment that is unique to the Philippines, where a tomato shortage and concurrent banana surplus during World War II led to the invention of ketchup made with the tropical fruit. Use the ketchup like you would a chutney: as a dip for vegetables, as a spread on sandwiches, or as a sauce for grilled or roast chicken or pork.
