Banana Turon

Sometimes I get homesick for more than just my parents but for the food of the Philippines. We had a picnic at church a few weeks ago and everyone brought whatever kind of food they thought was pirate type food. I used this an excuse to make one of my favorite filipino dishes. It's called banana turon or lumpia and is basically like a banana eggroll. It is delicious and easy to make!




To make this tasty treat you take plantain bananas and roll them in brown sugar and cinnamon. Then you wrap the bananas up in eggroll or lumpia wrappers and then you fry them in oil. When you take them out you roll them in brown sugar and cinnamon again and then lay them on rack to drip off remaining oil. Very delicious with vanilla ice cream!
