This is posted for the World Tour 05 RecipeZaar event. I haven't tried this particular recipe yet, but I love fried bananas. This is a recipe from the Cape Verde Islands as written in The Africa Cookbook - Tastes of A Continent by Jessica B. Harris.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

oil (for deep frying, olive oil is typically used)
1 cup cornflour (also called masa harina)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white rum
2 tablespoons milk
4 firm ripe bananas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oil to 375°F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
  • Mix corn flour and sugar in a bowl. Add butter, egg, salt, rum, and milk, stirring until it forms a thick batter.
  • Peel bananas, and cut into quarters. Mix cinnamon with brown sugar. Sprinkle half the cinnamon/ brown sugar mixture on the banana quarters.
  • Roll banana quarters in the batter, and drop carefully into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry 2 - 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown.
  • Drain fried bananas on paper towels and dust with remaining cinnamon/brown sugar mixture.
  • Continue until all banana quarters are fried and dusted. Serve warm.
