I would point out that we really can not say the banana was eaten in England
within the SCA period.  A single banana peel represents an archeological
anomaly.  It may be of Tudor origin or it may be an intrusive artifact.  

If you want a banana recipe presumably medieval and Arabic, but of no
provable provenance, try slicing a banana into a dish, add blanched almonds
and honey, stir to mix, pour sesame oil upon it and serve it forth.  

For the experimental and not overly historically accurate, prepare them like
wardens in syrup or bake them into a tart.

Or, based upon Pliny's commentary, you might serve it in that most unusual
of ways--raw.
