Bananas are plentiful in Gabon and lots of dishes feature this fruit.
This is a traditional Gabon recipe for a classic dessert of bananas coated in breadcrumbs that are lightly fried before being oven baked and served with sour cream and brown sugar.
Ingredients:
8 bananas cut into three equal diagonal pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten in 2 tbsp orange juice
100g breadcrumbs
120ml vegetable oil
24 tbsp sour cream
8 tbsp brown sugar
Beat the egg with the orange juice and dip the bananas in this before rolling in the breacrubms. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the bananas in this until they begin to brown lightly. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C for 5 minutes.
Serve 1 banana per person, topped with 3 tbsp sour cream and sprinkled with brown sugar.
