Saging na saba is known as the cooking variety of banana most popularly used is Filipino meryenda like bananaque and kumbo (or maruya) and desserts like minatamis na saging and banana chips. It used in some Filipino dishes like pochero and nilaga. But one of the easier recipes we have at home using saging na saba is with ground pork or giniling na baboy.

I love making this dish a little bit oily so I add a few more drops of oil in the last part of the cooking process. This is dish usually ends on a sweet note as the bananas gives out their sweetness. At times, depending on the variety of bananas, the sweetness doesn't come out, so I just sprinkle a little sugar.

Another time, I added a few drops of calamansi giving this dish a tangy-sweet taste which I loved. The measurements are just guides for you can adjust the amounts accordingly and enjoy it according to your taste!
