Rulo Banana

Rulo is very much like a Platano (Musa paradisiaca, Musa cavendishii), but the fruit is a little wider in size, softer to touch and paler in color. It's peel or outer skin is substantially softer when its green color. The skin or peel turns graygreen when it is fully grown. When ripe it turns yellowish and the meat gets softer. It ids not recommended to eat it's meat when ripe because its tannin contents are heavy and it never sweetens as the Banana which is the one that can be eaten without cooking.

"Rulos", once cut, ripen very fast and make their conservation and distribution challenging.

Some of the recipes are:

  • Fried Rulo Bananas or Rulo tostones

Method

  1. Cook your chicken breasts however you prefer: steam it, roasted it, pan fry it or just boil it.
  2. Grind the breasts and pan fry with some butter while adding the other ingredients, spices and seasonings. Cook until they are tender (when the peppers are tender it's probably ready) Take out, add the mayonnaise and set apart.
  3. Prepare the plantains as if making tostones and fry them for the first time until crunchy. Take out them and allow them to cool a little and instead of squashing them with the regular crusher or what you use to squash them regularly use the lemon squeezer, which will give them a basket shape. Take them again to the oil and fry again, which will give them the characteristic consistency and crunchiness of the tostones.
  4. Stuff with the chicken and serve.
