Bananas

Using up leftover bananas is not generally a problem, there are plenty of recipes for leftover or over-ripe bananas, but what about once you've used them, what about all those skins?

Linked are some suggestions and recipes from around the internet for using up all the different aspects of banana  (I can't vouch for any of them, yet...)

Banana skins

Most solutions to the banana skin problem appear to involve cooking/soaking/puréeing them to get over the texture, and then their subtle banana-y taste can be used for various things.

Banana peel chutney - Penniless Parenting
Banana skin sabji - Vah Reh Vah
Raw banana peel sauté - Ruchik Randhap
Banana skin cake 1 - Not Quite Nigella
Banana skin cake 2 - The more than occasional baker

PS Very ripe bananas aren't so bad just eaten whole, but then even monkeys peel the things.
