Banana ketchup is a Filipino condiment that was created by renowned food scientist Maria Orosa in the 1930s as the result of a tomato shortage. It remains a staple today and is often served alongside fried chicken.
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana, about 1 banana
156-mL can tomato paste
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp salt
COOK 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana with 1/3 cup brown sugar in medium saucepan for 2 min.
WHISK all remaining ingredients into saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a medium-low. Simmer, stirring often (it may splatter), about 4 min. Let cool before using. It will keep well, refrigerated, up to 1 month.
