HOW TO COOK MINATAMIS NA SAGING AT KAMOTE

If you would take a quick peak on the ingredients list, you may realize that what you needed to make this heavenly dessert might already be sitting on your pantry.

Normally, saging na saba is used in minatamis dishes since it is mildly sweet compared to other varieties. You may use ripe or unripe bananas. Just note that unripe bananas may take extra minutes to cook since they are firmer and needed more time to absorb the caramel flavor. As you prepare the saging and kamote, the only thing you needed to do is to braise them in a mixture of brown sugar and water. If you are planning to use muscovado sugar, that would be better since the caramel flavor would be stronger. If in case only white sugar is available, you may still work with it but the final color of your minatamis would be lighter than expected. The original minatamis na saging and kamote only uses banana, sweet potatoes, brown sugar and water. The sago and vanilla extract were just add-ons but can really enhance the dessert and make it more appetizing.

Paano Magluto ng Minatamis na Kamote at Saging

MGA SANGKAP:

• 10 piraso ng saging (hatiin sa tatlong piraso)
• 5 piraso ng kamote (binalatan at hiniwa)
• 1 tasa ng lutong sago o ½ tasa ng hilaw na sago
• 1 ½ tasa ng asukal na pula
• 2 hanggang 3 tasa ng tubig
• 1 kutsarita ng vanilla extract (optional)
• asin

PAANO LUTUIN:

1. Para sa pagluluto ng sago, magpainit ng tubig at ilagay ang sago. Hayaan itong kumulo ng 15 minuto gamit ang katamtamang apoy. Haluin ito paminsan-minsan para hindi magdikit-dikit.
2. Pagkatapos ng 15 minuto, maglagay ng malamig na tubig sa kaldero para maluto ang gitnang bahagi ng mga sago. I-drain ang sago at ibabad sa malamig na tubig bago gamitin.
3. Ihanda ang saging at kamote. Balatan at hiwain ito sa serving pieces.
4. Magpakulo ng tubig sa isang kawali. Ilagay ang asukal na pula at haluin ito hanggang matunaw. Kung ang ginamit mo ay hilaw na saging, ilagay ang saging sa kawali at hayaan itong maluto ng 5 hanggang 8 minuto bago idagdag ang kamote. Kung ang ginamit mo ay hinog na saging, sabay na ilagay ang saging at kamote sa kawali. Takpan ang kawali at hayaan itong maluto hanggang maging malambot ang kamote.
5. Ilagay ang sago, konting asin at vanilla extract. Haluin ito ng mabuti. Hayaan itong maluto hanggang lumapot ang sauce.
6. Ilipat ang minatamis na saging at kamote sa isang serving plate. Pwede mo na itong kainin o gawing toppings ng shaved yelo with gatas. Enjoy!
