Banana Cue

Ingredients

• 4 pieces Saba bananas (plantains)
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Bamboo skewers

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 4 Saba bananas and cut each banana in half lengthwise. Place each banana half onto one of the 4 Bamboo skewers.
2. 2Pour the 1 cup of Vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat, which is 350°F (175°C).
3. 3Add the 1/2 cup of Brown sugar to the hot oil. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, like dark honey. Be careful not to let it burn.
4. 4Carefully place the 4 skewered bananas into the hot, caramelized sugar. Fry the bananas for 2-3 minutes per side. They are done when they are golden brown and the sugar coating is thick and bubbly.
5. 5Use tongs to remove the Banana Cues from the skillet. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil for 1 minute. Serve immediately.
