How do you like to cook bannanas?

I've made banana bread before. I have never heard of cooking bananas other than in baked goods. I have heard of plantains that look like little bananas but are supposed to be cooked.

At home, we cook bananas in different ways. If we don't eat it as is when it's ripe, we usually boil it or fry it (the plantain variety). Here's a recipe I found on the net. This is called BANANA-Q: 1. Preheat oil in Frying pan. 2. Peel bananas and add them into hot oil. 3. Add brown sugar. Make sure the sugar sticks to the banana (this may be tricky) 4. Serve on bar-b-q sticks with about 2 bananas per stick.

I love Pisang Goreng (Banana Fritters) Serve it hot and make extra. With this recipe, you always want more! 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/4 tablespoon vanilla powder 1/2 cup milk 1 egg 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon rum flavoring 4 ripe bananas, sliced 2 cups oil for frying In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and vanilla powder. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg, melted butter and rum flavoring. Mix until smooth. Fold in banana slices until evenly coated. Heat oil in a wok or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop banana mixture by tablespoon into hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove bananas from oil, and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Oh this is interesting! I've never come across any banana dishes before - not unless you count banana split as one of them.:P I usually eat the fruit raw. Just pluck it and gobble it up in a few mouth-fulls.:P

To tell you the honest truth besides putting bananas into a banana loaf bread i have never cooked a banana. I am gonna try the recipe you have mentioned to see what it is like though i love to experiment might even come up with some of my own ideas on cooking a banana.

We have three kinds of banana here in my country the two is not good if you cook it is better to eat the fruit it self. but we have here what we called "saba" the one we really used for cooking t is more fat and short compared to the regular banana. We cooked it fry with brown sugar (bananaque) on it and sometimes we coated it with a flour wrapper (toron) we have lots of cooking in a banana here.

Yum, is this green bananas your talking about? we like them too. Boil them then skin them then add to coconut cream with onions and salt. I forgot what it's called but its yummy eating it with tuna, chicken or even corn beef.

My grandmother use to fry bananas in butter and make fried banana sandwiches. they are so yummy. You put butter on the bread and the fried bananas that it!

That sounds good. The only way I have cooked bananas has been in banana nut bread or banana cream pie. I have had fried plaintains, but didn't really care for them. Do you boil the bananas in the milk? Do you slice them first?

Hey. I like to eat my bananas either in a smoothie or a banana cake or banana loaf, I cant seem to eat the banana straight out without getting a sore guts from them... Never tried cooking them either, I know in some take away shops in NZ, they batter and deep fry them...

in the philippines there is different kind of banana. we sometimes put it as ingredient in our main meal or sometimes as appetizer. this recipe is the most popular. wrap a couple of sliced banana in a lumpia wrapper (spring roll wrapper) and dash with a bit of brown sugar, roll and sealed and cooked in a pan of hot oil. easy to prepare and realy taste good

Here in the Philippines we really have the variety of banana for cooking, we call it SABA, it could be the plantain variety. here's a very simple recipe that is well loved by my kids. fry the bananas (cut in half lengthwise) in a pan with vegetable oil, dont over cook. Sauce: melt 1/2 bar of anchor butter in a pan, add 1/2 cup of white sugar, stir constantly until sugar is melted, then add 1 small can of all purpose cream, stir until smoothly thick and your done. Pour it over your fried banana.

cooking bananas? please, stop... that's a sacrilege... why cooking bananas? it's such a good fruit... who cook it? don't do that... just eat it fresh... fresh is good... fresh si better... so try it fresh... or if you don't like it fresh give it to me... I promise I'll accept it:P

In our country Philippines, Bananas like Saba we cook it like the way you cooked it with coconut milk and salt to taste. We also fry it with sugar to coat and that is a bananacue. And there's another one we call it Maruya we use flour and a little sugar and water mixed it to use as coat for the sliced bananas then fry. It is a very healthy snacks!!! (,")

I like bananas best when they aren't cooked. Like in banana pudding, it is awesome. But my favorite banana treat would be banana ice cream. First you freeze and thaw the bananas to make them mushy. Then you put them in a food processer and mix it with lemon juice(to keep it from turning brown) light corn syrup and heavy cream. Take it out, put it in an ice cream maker and churn it till its done. It the best banana treat, in my opinion.
