This sweet treat is Tyrande Whisperwind’s guilty pleasure. Fried to the point of just shy of too soft, this recipe brings out the best flavors of all its ingredients.
Olive oil
1 underripened banana, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot water
Pinch of cinnamon
Sesame seeds for topping (optional)
1. Add just a dash of oil to a pan over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the banana slices and cook for a couple of minutes on each side. While they cook, combine the honey, cinnamon, and hot water in a small bowl. When the fruit slices are golden on each side, remove from heat and pour in the honey mixture. Allow to cool for a minute or so before enjoying.
COOK’S NOTE: If using actual plantains instead of bananas, consider cooking just a little longer and using a bit more honey, since plantains have less natural sugar than bananas.
