How to make Banana Cue
1
Heat the oil
Heat oil in a deep pan to 165°C (330°F).
2
Fry the bananas
Add bananas and fry for 3 minutes, turning gently.
3
Add sugar
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly into the oil. Allow it to melt around the bananas without stirring vigorously.
4
Coat
Turn the bananas until completely coated with glossy caramel, about 4–5 minutes.
5
Skewer and cool
Remove carefully, place two bananas on each skewer, and cool on a lightly greased rack.
Maria’s tip: Firm saba bananas are easier to coat and will not break during frying.
Food safety: Melted sugar can cause severe burns; handle the bananas with long tongs and cool before serving.
