Banana Blossom Fritters.....
You would need some plastic gloves to protect your hands from the blossom sap, it stains your hands and fingernails. Peel the outer layer of the blossoms and pull out the blossoms. Pinch and pull the tips and pull out the pin looking stuff out because they are hard. Do the blossom layers until you reach the soft blossoms. Once you reach the soft parts. You are able to tell the softness by pinching it with your fingers. You will need two cloves of garlic, onions, bell peppers and green onions.
Of course salt and pepper. I also sprinkle it with chicken bullion, the powder one to boost the taste.
Once blossoms and the soft heart are out, dice them and sprinkle salt and leave it for five minutes.
After five minutes, wash and squeeze the salt and water off the blossoms. Saute onions and garlic. I also added shallots and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cool.
After it cools of, add 1/3 cup of all purpose flour or corn starch and egg. Mix all the ingredients in. Heat some oil in a pan. Make sure it is hot so the fritter batter won't stick. Flatten it on the pan and add three or four batches at a time until golden brown.You can serve it as finger food or with rice and stuff.
