Heat the oven

Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). If using the banana leaf, hold each piece with tongs about 10 cm above a low stove flame, turning constantly a few seconds per side until bright green and soft, then use it to line a 23 x 33 cm baking dish; if not, just grease the dish with the extra butter.

2 pieces banana leaf (optional)
1 tsp butter for greasing (optional)

✅ C'est prêt quand : oven is at temperature; leaf (if used) is bright green and glossy, not charred
