How to Make Banana Blossom Guinatan
- Gently discard the tough outer layers of the banana blossom. Slice the blossom thinly lengthwise. If the blossom is large, cut it in half lengthwise first.
- Place the sliced banana blossom in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of salt, gently rubbing it into the slices. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze out the excess juices. Rinse the blossoms under cold water and squeeze them dry.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Sauté 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add 1 medium tomato, chopped, and stir for 3 minutes.
- Add the prepared banana blossom and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Continue to cook until the banana blossom is tender (about 5-7 more minutes). Stir in 1 cup of coconut milk and remove from heat.
- Serve hot over steamed rice. Enjoy!
