Fish papillote in banana leaf

We didn't wait for the invention of aluminum foil to make papillotes. For a very long time, leaves have been used to hold food that was going to be cooked over fire.

Where to find banana leaves

I can already hear you saying, it's not easy to find banana leaves in France or even in Europe. Well, it's not that difficult, maybe some of you have a banana tree in your garden, that's already one source of leaves, but you'll find them in all exotic and Asian grocery stores. Make sure they are still fresh and green, otherwise they will go up in smoke... Clean them properly with clear water, as most banana trees are treated with chemicals, so be cautious...

Making your papillote in banana leaf

Select a leaf large enough to contain the food for 1 portion. Clean it thoroughly and line the inside of the leaf with oil to prevent the food from sticking to the leaf, and close it without pulling too hard on the leaf to avoid breaking it. To prevent an "accident" where the leaf might open once on the grill, you can secure it with string or toothpicks. This way, you can be sure that the papillote won't move during cooking.nnAll that's left is to serve it as is to your friends.
