TURON
turon
banana "fritter"
Filipino turon consists of a plantain wrapped like a spring roll and then deep fried -- sort of like banana lumpia.
The most common turon filling is the saba variety of banana. Jackfruit is also added as a filling. The rolls may be dusted with brown sugar before frying.
Etymology: The Tagalog word turon comes from the Spanish turrón, a nougat confection that's a traditional dessert at Christmas.
Dulce, por lo general en forma de tableta, hecho de almendras, piñones, avellanas o nueces, tostado todo y mezclado con miel y azúcar.
