Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• ½ teaspoon olive oil
• ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 clove garlic, halved
• 2 small ripe bananas, quartered
• 1 shallot, quartered
• ¼ cup chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia®)
• 1 ¾ teaspoons curry powder, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bananas, shallot, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken chicken broth and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.n

Step 2

Pour the curry mixture, rice vinegar, honey, and salt into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the curry moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the curry right in the cooking pot.n
