Turon (banana spring rolls) with toffee and peanut butter sauce

I was on Twitter last night and there was a post by I-forgot-who with a link to a waffle photo that I wanted to eat off my monitor. The waffle was topped with slices of fresh bananas and smothered with maple-peanut butter sauce.

When I woke up this morning (okay, more like noon), I told Speedy about the beautiful photo and I said I’d make waffles and the sauce later. With a twist though. Instead of maple syrup and peanut butter, I would combine toffee with peanut butter.

But Speedy had a different idea. Why not pour the sauce over turon? Oh, my goodness, I couldn’t wait for mid-afternoon when Speedy would make the turon. And when he did, it was with a new twist too. Instead of the usual saba banana filling, he combined saba banana slices with diced mangoes. Ooh la la.

For those unfamiliar with turon, it is a fried banana spring roll with very ripe saba bananas and brown sugar as filling. In this version, this turon (banana spring rolls) with toffee and peanut butter sauce, no brown sugar is added. Instead, the turon is served with the toffee-peanut butter sauce on the side.
