Banana Turon

Ingredients

• 3-4 Stück Saba Bananas (or plantains)
• 12 Blätter Spring roll wrappers
• 80 g Brown sugar
• 100 g Jackfruit (canned, drained and sliced)
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 EL Water (for sealing spring rolls)
• 1 Prise Salt
• 2 EL Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

1. Peel the saba bananas and halve them lengthwise. If they are very large, they can also be quartered. Prepare the jackfruit strips.
2. Roll each banana piece and a few jackfruit strips in brown sugar until evenly coated. Add a pinch of salt.
3. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a piece of sugared banana and some sugared jackfruit on one end. Roll the wrapper tightly, fold in the sides, then seal the end with a dab of water.
4. In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 170°C (340°F). The oil is hot enough when a small crumb of dough sizzles immediately.
5. Fry the turons in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning them regularly to ensure even cooking. This will take about 3-5 minutes per batch.
6. Remove the fried turons from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
7. Optionally, dust the warm turons with a little powdered sugar and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
