FINADENE

I learned to make this on Guam. This is an all purpose sauce and can be used as a marinade, or poured over rice or cooked meat. You can make it as hot or mild as you like. The longer you let it sit the hotter it gets!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your finadene will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in a tough finadene. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the finadene over medium-low heat: This will help prevent the finadene from burning.
  • Serve the finadene warm: Finadene is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature or cold.
