Method
- Boil banana heart in fresh water for 20–25 minutes until tender. Drain, cool enough to handle, squeeze dry and chop finely.
- Blanch cabbage leaves for 2–3 minutes until flexible, drain and shave the thick ribs.
- Heat oil and cook onion and ginger for 5 minutes and garlic for 30 seconds. Add banana heart and cook for 3 minutes. Loosen tahure with 2 tablespoons of the measured broth, then mix in with cooked rice and pepper.
- Divide the filling between the twelve cabbage leaves, fold in the sides and roll securely.
- Bring the remaining tomato broth to a simmer in a wide lidded pan. Add parcels seam-side down, cover and simmer gently for 20–25 minutes until the centres reach 75°C for 30 seconds.
- Serve hot. Use rice chilled for no more than 24 hours and reheat it only once.
