Banana Farofa Recipe

Ingredients:

8 bananas-nanicas, sliced not too thinly
6 tablespoons of oil
1 medium onion, grated
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup of chopped herbs
1 cup of table flour

Instructions:

In a skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Fry the sliced bananas until they are golden and crispy. Remove the fried bananas and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, using the oil leftover from frying the bananas, sauté the grated onion until it is golden and aromatic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the chopped herbs to the sautéed onion and mix well so that they absorb the flavors.
Finally, add the table flour to the mixture in the skillet and stir until the flour is well incorporated and toasted.
Return the fried bananas to the skillet and gently mix them in to combine with the farofa. Avoid overmixing to prevent the bananas from breaking apart.
Serve Banana Farofa immediately as a side dish for meats, poultry, or as a standalone dish. Its unique and balanced flavor will surely please your palate.
