3. Cool the banana blossom after boiling it. Remove the pistil and outer most petals. Then slice according to your desired size.
4. After slicing it, add salt then squeeze well. Put the banana blossom in a strainer or colander. Place under running water then squeeze and drain. This should be done to avoid stomach problems.
5. After it's drained well, mix it with the grated onion and garlic. Add pepper then mix well.

 

 
6. Then heat the pan and cook it for 5 minutes. Add salt and more pepper for taste.
7. Wrap it using the lumpia wrapper then fry.

*Chewing gum while grating the onion is a must to avoid unnecessary drama.

Wow. We had a lot of banana blossoms but we throw it all the time for we thought that it's useless. We can really make a lot out of it . Thanks for sharing.
