Hi Everyone I'm Chef Rafi and Welcome to my Show!
Today we are going to cook with banana flower Banana flower is so delicious
In the Philippines they call it puso ng saging because they think that it's a heart
Did you know that a banana heart could grow over 100 pounds?
First remove the purple leaves These are baby bananas
Do not eat the purple part of the flower Careful because the banana flower could be
sticky There's like exfinity of these!
Make sure you get rid of the middle part of the banana, even the stick - It goes all the
way down Your fingernails and your fingertips will
get very dirty when you do this Most people who eat this don't know how hard
it is to make
The palito is like a little plastic toothpick I need my sous-chef for this
Do not cook this dish if you're in a hurry This is what we eat, and this is what we throw
away This is the middle of the banana flower. It's
delicious I'm going to cut the middle of the banana
flower These are the smallest of the baby bananas
Careful because there's a lot of sap Throw this part away
Now we're gonna salt the bananas and get rid of the sap
On three, two, one, Go! We're gonna squeeze out the sap
You can also use a towel to wring out the sap
Let's strain the banana blossom Now we can start cooking!
For this dish you will need coconut milk, vinegar, salt, fish sauce, garlic, and onion
Saute the onion and garlic in oil Add the prepared banana heart to the onions
and garlic when they are toasted light brown Put one or two tablespoons of patis
If you like it spicy, add the chilli peppers now
Now it's time to cover the pot Time to eat, bon appetit! I hope you like
this dish If you like the recipe, I have many more.
