Except this Adobong Puso ng Saging, all I could thick of for banana blossoms is to cook it ginataan style. In fact I have cooked and posted several banana blossoms, just click the link list below to check the recipes.


Today I want to share my version of Adobong Puso ng Saging, Banana Blossom Adobo. For this recipe I opted to buy the whole banana buds instead buying the grated banana blossom which are always available in any public wet markets or any supermarket.

I though it will be more authentic if the shredded banana blossoms were shredded randomly at different sizes. For this recipe I used 2 banana buds that I bought from the supermarket.  Usually Adobong Puso ng Saging, Banana Blossom Adobo are cooked without meat vegetarian style or some topped with Fried Dilis.

I wanted to make the best  Adobong Puso ng Saging, Banana Blossom Adobo  so I chose to use pork  for the meat ingredients. Using pork did make the difference, not unless you do not like pork then you could cook the recipe without the meat.
