MARUYA

A very perfect snack especially in the afternoon. Maruya a banana deep fried mixed with a brown sugar. I remember when i got home at 3:00 in the afternoon in our province in surigao del sur, my grandmother always command me to buy maruya because its her favorite. And because of that after 3 years when i visited our province again i wonder that why she didn't eat maruya anymore... i discovered that she has a diabetes..^^ 

And she said that it is because of maruya on why she had diabetes. hmmm Maruya is sweet because it is covered with sugar.. i guess i have to eat  often maruya to ensure my health eheheehh...

MINATAMIS NA SAGING

                               

MINATAMIS NA SAGING

 Sweetened Banana

The original recipe for this dessert was sent to me by long-time reader Sam. Until I read this recipe, the only way of preparing minatamis na saging I knew was to cook the ripe saba bananas in water and sugar. Guess I’ve been missing a lot. While sticking to the ingredients in the original recipe, I added a few drops of kalamansi juice to cut the sweetness. I also modified the procedure a bit. In a nutshell, this is a dessert made with ripe saba bananas fried in butter, braised in honey then served with sweetened condensed milk sprinkled with cinnamon powder. Doesn’t it look wonderful? Best thing is that it tastes much much better than it looks.

Ingredients :

• 6 ripe Saba Bananas
• 1/4 c. of honey
• A few drops of Kalamansi juice
• Sweetened condensed milk (as much or as little as you want)
• 6 tbsps. of butter

Cooking procedure :

1. Peel the saba bananas and cut each in half lengthwise.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet. Fry the bananas in hot butter until lightly browned.
3. In a clean saucepan, pour the honey and the kalamansi juice. Set over medium heat and add the bananas.
4. Toss to coat each piece well and cook for about a minute and a half. 
5. The saba bananas will turn darker shade of brown; they will also be shiny.

TURON NA SAGING

 

TURON NA SAGING

 "Deep Fried Lumpia Wrapped Banana"

Turon is a banana spring roll and a popular street food. A whole or half saba banana sprinkled with brown sugar, wrapped in lumpia (spring roll) wrapper then deep fried in oil. The traditional recipe includes a few strips of langka (jackfruit). Personally, I dispense with the brown sugar and add slices of cheese instead of langka .

Anyway, so I saw this turon stall and was surprised at how they dressed up the humble turon–with cinnamon, chocolate, peanut butterÉ I asked if they contained a whole saba banana or just half. The salesgirl said they contained diced bananas. I asked when they had been cooked. She said earlier in the day. I was disappointed but still curious. I decided to buy two pieces–chocolate and peanut butter (below, right). I asked if they were going to be reheated before being packed. The salesgirl said no. But they wouldnÕt be crisp anymore, I protested. They are, maam, she assured me. I paid for them and off to the moviehouse we went.
