Mexican Bananas
Posted Fri, 09/26/03
One of Wilbert's co-workers asked him for a Mexican recipe for "Fried Bananas."
I found the following at Cooks.Com:
Fried Bananas (Platanos Fritos)
3 firm green tipped bananas
4 eggs, separated
1/4 C flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Oil for frying
Peel and split the bananas lengthwise. Cut each in half. Dip in lemon juice. For batter, beat egg yolks until thick and light. Add flour and salt. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into yolks. Drop the drained banana pieces into the batter one at a time. Pick up with a spoon and slice into a large frying pan container in about one inch of hot oil. Cook over medium heat, turning almost at once. Cook until brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Recipe makes six servings.
I don't find the dish to be particularly appetizing, but there is no accounting for individual taste.
