This dish is also called Heart-y Lumpia because it’s made from Banana heart. You know how we sometimes get tired of eating meat? That’s the main reason why I tried this recipe. I wanted to incorporate more vegetables into our daily menu and Banana Heart Lumpia is one good way to do it.

- 250g ground pork
- 1 onion, chopped cooking oil for frying
- 2 cloves garlic,minced
- 1¼ cups tomato sauce
- ¼ cups water
- salt and pepper to taste lumpia wrapper
Directions
- 1Clean banana heart by removing the first red layers. You would wanna see the yellow layers before yuo start slicing.
