fried bananas

[flounderman]

wife mentioned she had eaten fried bananas in asia and they were good. I pulled up some receipes on the computer. some call for batter, some just flour and sugar. I mixed flour, salt sugar and cinnimon , quartered the bananas, rolled them in the flour mixture and fried them. for a first time effort they tasted pretty good.

One thing I cook once in a while (if I have some over ripe bananas) is fried banana burritos.
I slice them diagonally, add some "salted" cashew pieces, maybe a few chocolate chips.
Then roll 'em up and fry in a buttered cast iron pan til brown on 2 sides.

Fry 1/4" slices (lengthwise) in fresh bacon drippings, turning once as they clarify. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Yummy.

This is how my grandmother made them. Very tasty.

I fix something called "Cuban Rice" an Argentine taught me. Cook 1 cup rice add some Parmesan cheese for flavor when it is done. Top with a ham slice, an egg over easy and fried bananas on the side. We usually split 1 1/2 bananas between the two of us. It is a good mix of salt, sweet, starch and protein.

Down in the islands, the yellow bananas aren't fried. They use the little red ones.

I used to buy deep fried bananas on a stick when I was in the Philippines. The bananas they used are a different variety than we get in the US. They were about four inches long two inches wide and an inch thick.

As far as I knew they just stuck a skewer in them and deepfried them, although they could have been rolled in sugar first.

They serve them at the Chinese restaurants here. They call them "honey banana".

GT27 use homemade wafers in that pudding for the best you can make.
