Venezuelan Banana Sweet Recipe

If there is an easy and quick sweet to make, it is this Venezuelan fried banana sweet. In itself, the banana is a highly appreciated fruit in that country and is part of what many identify as the national dish of Venezuela: the pavilion. In addition, to make this Venezuelan banana sweet recipe you only need bananas that are ripe and that do not have traces of green on the peel. Of course, they are not so ripe or almost black, because the banana pieces could be undone with prolonged cooking and the idea is that they remain more or less whole. The rest are ingredients that you always have at home.

Ingredients to make Venezuelan Banana Sweet:

2 bananas
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup of water (240 milliliters)
1 dessert spoon of cornstarch
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
oil for frying

How to make Venezuelan Banana Dulce:

• Take all the bananas and remove the peel. Chop them in thirds, or quarters if the bananas are very large. In any case, make sure that the pieces are more or less the same.

• In plenty of oil, fry all the banana pieces. Brown the bananas completely and stir them constantly to avoid burning. This is important if the banana is wide, so that it cooks well inside.

• Reserve the fried banana pieces.

• In the same pan where you fry the bananas, remove most of the oil and add ¾ of the cup of water (reserve the other quarter), the sugar, the cinnamon and the cloves.

• Bring to a boil a little and place the bananas to cook for a while until the volume of the liquid decreases a little. This takes about 10 minutes on high heat.

• Now, remove from the heat and let it cool for a minute to calm the boil. During this time, mix the cornstarch with the ¼ cup of water that you reserved and pour it into the pan. Bring it to low heat so that the cornstarch cooks and that's it. Serve your Venezuelan banana sweet hot or cold.
