Breaded Fried Bananas

This is such a simple dessert and yet so delicious. Kenton and I have eaten in the last few days in a Peruvian restaurant, Venezuelan and a Cuban restaurant! Basically often we feel that we live in Latin American in Madrid, especially hanging around in the South.

Fried bananas are one of my favourite dishes in these restaurants, so I had to give it a go and then I found this recipe online that I had to try. I mean it is super simple. The real key to the desserts is one and only one: the bananas HAVE to be ripe. The riper it is is the sweeter it is, and the harder it is the less sweet it is. So for these recipes you ACTUALLY want the bananas that are on the edge of getting a little gross.

INGREDIENTS:
-5 ripe bananas. 
-1-2 big tablespoons of flour.

-1 egg.

-sunflower oil.

-caster sugar.

-caramel.

STEPS:

1. Peel the bananas and coat them in flour and then beated egg, 

2. Get a small frying pan going and heat up in high heat abundant sunflower oil.

3. Immediately turn down to medium heat, and then transfer them into the frying pan and let them cook for 1-2 minutes in each side. Do not let them sit there for more than 2 minutes or they will burn!!! They burn FAST. Also put heat in medium setting, cause high setting burns them.

4. After 4 minutes transfer them to a dish with kitchen paper to soak up the oil a bit.

5. Then put them on plate and sprinkle caster sugar and caramel.

So good! So easy. Really that was all there was to it. Again: the riper the better. Next time I will choose even riper bananas.
