What would you do with.... - Updated - 4 recipes decided :)

[a_and_j_momma]

1 whole coconut

3 vanilla beans

A bunch of bananas

2 small pineapples

3 mangos

Fresh ginger


I also have fresh mint



What would you make? Not necessarily with everything above in it but at least 2. I do not have an ice cream maker. I have 4 bananas I need to use soon for sure

 

Update-

 

I will be making:

 

Mang-licious Tilapia

Baked Coconut Shrimp

Tropical Quinoa Bars

Pineapple Fried Quinoa

I leave mine out (cut open) to dry a day. Then I just take chunks and use my cheese grater and store in a ziplock. I'm not sure how right that is, but I lived with a family from the Phillipines for awhile and that's what the mom would do just about every month. Everything she made tasted good - she even had a coconut crusted chicken that was AMAZING.

Quoting a_and_j_momma:

How hard is coconut to shred? lol

Quoting mybratsmom:

Banana bread

fruit ssmoothies shred the coconut for later 

you could make a mango salsa...

Coconut crusted chicken...

yummm...I need to go make dinner

 I would give the coconut away (I don't like coconut), put the vanilla beans in a small bottle with vodka to make homemade vanilla extract, cut up the bananas, pineapple, and mangos for fruit salad garnished with mint.  I don't know what I would do with the ginger.

I was just going to mention the vanilla extract. :)

That list screams for happy hour. Lol Blend with ice and add liquor or asweet red wine.

Punch two of the eyes out, pour the water, bake for 15 min, crack the shell to remove, put coconut meat in the food processor.

That's how I start every coconut.
