Turon with Jackfruit Recipe
 
 
Serves: 12 pieces
Ingredients
  • 5-6 ripe saba bananas, you can also use plantains
  • 1 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1 package lumpia wrapper (check the label if vegan)
  • 10-12 pieces yellow jackfruit, sliced in half.
  • water, for sealing the Turon
  • oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Peel off one piece of the lumpia wrapper and place one piece of saba banana on the lower center of the wrapper.
  2. Place jackfruit on top, covering the bananas
  3. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. The amount of sweetness is up to you.
  4. When rolling the Turon and you would like to try the street food style of presentation, roll up the wrapper and seal the end with water. You do not need to seal the sides. You will end up with a long log shape.
  5. If you would like a neater, daintier look, fold up the lower bottom of the wrapper to cover the filling but before rolling up, fold the sides of the wrapper into the center, then roll up and seal the ends with water. You will end up with a shorter log shape. Repeat the process of wrapping for the rest of the saba and jackfruit.
  6. Heat medium pan over medium heat. Pour about two inches of oil.
  7. Once hot, fry the wrapped Turon until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a strainer to remove excess oil.
  8. When ready to serve, transfer to a serving plate. Best when served warm.
Notes
You can use other kinds of fillings for your turon, such as ube, chocolate, hazelnut, etc.
Instead of using cane sugar, you can use super ripe bananas and jackfruit, or dust some organic powdered sugar on top when serving.
