How to Make Banana Blossom Burger Patties, Puso ng Saging
What do you call “puso ng saging” in English. If you’re a Filipino, 80% chance that your first answer is “banana heart”. Am I wrong? The right horticultural term is banana blossom. Drop a comment if you beg to disagree.
My mother loves to cook ginataang puso ng saging but my hubby loves to cook it as burger patties. Here are the simple steps:
Ingredients:
Banana blossoms, preferably saba variety —- 1 cup
Flour —- 1/2 cup
Egg —- 2 pcs
Cooking oil
Black pepper —- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Salt —– 1 tsp salt
Garlic —- 1 pcs
Onions —- 1 medium size onion
Procedure:
1. Get your banana blossom.
2. Remove the matured bracts but save all the young banana fingers.
3. Wash thoroughly in running water and rinse well.
4. Chop thinly (young bracts and fingers) and cook with small amount of boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside.
5. Saute onions and garlic. Mix with the cooked banana blossoms together with the rest of ingredients.
6. Fry two spoonful of mixture until golden brown.

@gselle – no chemicals are needed. However, you need a good packaging (preferably modified atmosphere packaging) to prolong its shelf life. Curing is applicable only to meat products.
