About Bakkeljauw met Banaan
Sharon de Miranda pairs Surinamese bakkeljauw rolls with battered fried plantain, or baka bana. Salted dried fish forms the savoury filling, accompanied by pickled cucumber and red onion.
Tomato, garlic, celery leaf and Madame Jeannette chilli flavour the fish. A separate peanut sambal combines aromatics, brown sugar, soy sauce and tamarind, bringing richness and tang to the sweet plantain.
The plantain has a golden, crisp battered exterior beneath its peanut sauce. Split bread rolls hold the flaked fish and pickles, with the baka bana served alongside.
