Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Saba Bananas (plantain)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 pieces Bamboo Skewers

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Peel the 8 pieces Saba Bananas and cut each one in half lengthwise.
  2. 2Thread two banana halves onto each of the 4 pieces Bamboo Skewers.
  3. 3Heat the 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium heat, about 175°C.
  4. 4Carefully place the banana-skewered halves into the hot oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bananas are golden brown on all sides.
  5. 5Sprinkle the 1/2 cup Brown Sugar evenly over the bananas in the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, turning the bananas gently, until the sugar melts and caramelizes into a sticky coating.
  6. 6Remove the Banana Cues from the skillet using tongs and place them on a heatproof surface to cool slightly for about 1 minute. Serve immediately while the caramel is still warm and gooey.
