Fried Bananas

<< Fried Bananas make an easy pareve dessert recipe that will dazzle your family and friends. As far as I know, Fried Bananas are an Asian dish - the simple elegance and sweet appeal of this recipe make it a worthy addition to the Jewish table.

Ingredients:

bananas
1 package small spring roll wrappers (or large package if small is unavailable)
Optional: honey, maple syrup or pareve chocolate sauce
Optional: pareve frozen dessert or as a dairy dish, ice cream or frozen yogurt
Toasted coconut, to sprinkle on top of Fried Bananas
oil for deep frying

You can make as many of these as you wish. The process is as follows: Cut a banana in half horizontally and then again in half, lengthwise. You will have 4 pieces. Each piece should fit into a spring roll wrapper and if wrappers are too large, cut them down to fit. Fold banana pieces into wrappers as if you were making actual spring rolls, folding them up tightly.

Place oil in a wok or deep frying pan, enough to cover stuffed wrappers. Heat to medium high and once oil is hot, use tongs or another reliable utensil to place wrappers in pan - make sure to avoid spatters. Fry until golden brown, gently rotating wrappers so that they brown uniformly. Do not overcrowd the pan - make the wrappers in batches of 4-6 at a time.

Place cooked bananas on a plate covered with paper towels and let them cool down for a few minutes. If serving warm, drizzle honey or syrup over top of wrappers and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Add a scoop of frozen dessert or sorbet on the side. If serving cooled off, sprinkle a bit of confectioners sugar over top of wrappers followed by syrup, if desired.
