  The green cooking bananas will be very firm and difficult to peel. If there is a sap, do not get on clothing as it will stain, add vegetable oil to hands for easy handling. Trim off stem from both ends and run a knife down the full length of banana the depth of the peel. Cover with salted water and bring to a boil for 10 to 15 minutes, the cut you made will open up and allow for easy removal of the peel. The water will discolour while boiling, this is natural. Allow Bananas to cool, remove and chop into 1" pieces similar to potato salad.
