Made to use up overripe, leftover bananas, this Filipino sauce is simmered with vinegar, sugar and spices until thick. Getting the texture right takes patience, and it is a classic accompaniment for barbecues and picnics.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mash the banana

8 min

Mash the overripe, leftover bananas with a fork or blender until smooth.

2

Simmer

25 min

Simmer the banana purée with the water, vinegar, tomato paste, sugar, salt, cinnamon and cloves in a pot over low heat, stirring, for 25 minutes.

3

Strain and thicken

10 min

Strain the mixture to remove the fibrous bits, return it to the heat and simmer for 10 more minutes until it reaches the desired thickness; this step is tricky, since the sauce can easily catch on the bottom.

4

Bottle

5 min

Pour the hot sauce into a clean bottle and leave it to cool.

Reminder

Keep stirring the sauce constantly while it thickens; if it catches on the bottom, the burnt flavour spreads through the whole batch.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Using less tomato paste and an extra spoon of banana instead makes the sauce sweeter and less acidic.

Tarifte yazan 25 dakikalık kaynatma bende hiç yetmedi, sos hâlâ oldukça akışkandı; 10 dakika daha kaynattıktan sonra ancak kaşığın arkasını kaplayacak kıvama geldi, sabırla beklemeye değdi.

Bahçede akşam mangal yaparken bu sosu yanında sunduğumda herkes tarifini sordu, özellikle karanfilin verdiği hafif baharatlı koku ve kıvamı çok beğenildi, kavanozu aynı akşam tamamen bitirdik.
