By: Lia, Dapurgue
Bahan:
1 buah jantung pisang siap olah*
600 ml santan (kekentalan sesuai selera)
2 sdt garam /secukupnya
1 sdt gula pasir /secukupnya
2 lembar daun salam
Bumbu Halus:
2 buah cabe merah
6 butir bawang merah
3 siung bawang putih
2 cm lengkuas muda
1 cm kencur
5 butir kemiri
2 sdt ketumbar sangrai
Cara:
Panaskan santan, daun salam dan bumbu sampai mendidih sambil diaduk2, masukin jantung pisang, garam dan gula. Masak dengan api kecil selama 15 menit.
Matikan api, sajikan hangat.
Note:
Pilih jantung pisang kepok atau batu, rasanya lebih lembut.
Kalo suka pedas bisa ditambah cabe rawit pada bumbu halus.
Enak juga bila dicampur ikan asap yang udah digoreng sebentar.
* Mengolah jantung pisang.
Kupas kelopak berwarna gelap hingga mencapai kelopak warna pink. Belah dan iris2, rebus dalam air mendidih selama 5 menit, tiriskan. Ulangi sekali lagi selama 3 menit, tiriskan lagi. Jantung pisang kini siap diolah.
Lodeh jantung pisang ini mengingatkan ku waktu masa kecil. Udah lama sekali nggak nyoba lagi, sambil membayangkan lagi gimana ya rasanya...kayaknya sih enak banget!, salam kenal ya
