Banana Turon


2 large bananas, sliced thinly and diagonally

1 c sliced jackfruit

5 phyllo pastry sheets

2 Tbsp melted butter

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp brown sugar

cooking oil spray


Syrup

1 c sugar

1/2 c water

1 Tbsp lemon juice


Preheat oven to 180dec C. Grease a cookie tray with the cooking oil spray. Cut the phyllo sheets into four and cover with a cloth to prevent from drying out as you work. Layer 6 sheets of pastry, brushing each thoroughly with the combined butter and oil. Arrange the slices of banana to cover the top layer. Sprinkle with half of the sugar. Layer another 8 sheets of greased pastry over the banana. Arrange the slices of jackfruit and sprinkle with the rest of the sugar. Top with the remaining 6 sheets of greased pastry. Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining butter and oil. With a very sharp knife, cut into 3 lengthways, but do not cut through the base. Bake in the oven for around 40minutes. Meanwhile, stir the syrup ingredients together in a pan over low heat until the mixture boils and the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. When the pastry is cooked, pour the cooled syrup over the hot slice. When cold, cut into squares or diamonds.
