FILIPINO TURON (FRIED BANANA)
posted on nibbledish by lealea
  • halved or quartered saba bananas
  • 1 package of spring roll wrappers (found in the freezer aisle)
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1/2 c white sugar
  • water
  • 2 c canola oil

peel and separate wrappers, set aside. mix sugars in bowl, set aside. depending on the size of banana, half or quarter them. then, dip or place under running water. then roll the banana in the sugar mix.


wrap in spring roll wrapper and seal with water.



deep fry until golden brown. you can place on paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil, but don't leave too long because the caramelized sugar will stick to the paper.

BESTILLA...MOROCCAN CHICKEN PIE

the first time i had bestilla was at a moroccan restaurant in san francisco, el mansour , which was served family-style. think along came polly -esque, minus the heat and profusely sweating ben stiller. great image to start a recipe entry, right? anyway, this dish is a meal in itself. the middle eastern-spiced chicken is wrapped in flaky phyllo dough and topped with powdered sugar, making it sweet & savory. i will say that this dish is tasking...this is the first time i used phyllo dough and it is incredibly fragile, but so worth it! i think this is one that will be made for special occasions only.

KOREAN BBQ SHORT RIBS (GAL-BI)

the first time i tried korean bbq short ribs, i was having dinner with a past boyfriend and his parents. it was pretty good, they had an indoor grill and we used that right at the table to grill these sectioned off morsel. but, the next time i tried them, i felt like it was the first time all over again. my favorite all-you-can-eat korean bbq restaurant is in mountain view, ginseng korean bbq & tofu . they have quality meats and the marinade is just right. and, if i'm in need of a quick fix, i go to westfield mall in san francisco to make my way to sorabol korean restaurant , where they have the best food court korean bbq i've ever encountered. so, when you love something so much, the best idea is to learn how to make it...and it turned out to be super easy.

SAUSAGE & KALE STEW WITH OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATOES

mr. miles everett first off, as you can see, i have not been contributing to my poor deprived blog. the last post was in april, which was when i found out i was pregnant with my first baby. a couple things were going on then: 1) i was too nauseous to even think about food (being pregnant is NOT a foodie's friend in the first trimester), then 2) when i finally got my appetite back, all i wanted was take out. i probably won't have time in the new year with a new baby, but i will try to post something at least once a month because blogging about food makes me happy and one of resolutions is to cook more. don't be surprised, however, if my next post are lactation cookies or baby food. anyway…on with my comeback... i found saw this recipe in the november issue of real simple and knew i wanted to make it. i assumed it was something that can be whipped up in a couple hours, but then quickly realized that it was a slow cooker recipe, which would take 8 hours of cooking t...
