Butter Brown Bananas
This is undoubtedly one of the most indulging desserts one can taste. The different sensations all performing their own magical tricks on the pallet is an unforgettable experience. You and your guests will just keep craving for more! As usual I don't go by precise amounts unless it is absolutely necessary. Hence use your tongue and brains to figure out the amounts depending on your likeliness of sweets.
Ingredients:
- Bananas
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Chocolate Sauce
- Treacle
- Almonds/Peanuts/Cashew Nuts
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Method:
Add some butter to a shallow skillet and heat it very gently. Use the minimum amount of heat possible. Once the butter is heated and turns slightly amber in colour, add the brown sugar. As a guideline for newbies one portion of butter should be accompanied by one portion of sugar. Allow the sugar to melt in the same order as the butter. Once almost all the sugar has disappeared add the pealed bananas. You can add as many as you like to the pan but don't overcrowd the pan. Increase the heat slightly and allow the bananas to brown on the side facing the pan. Once one side is done turn them over gently (use a set of tongs to grab the bananas). When the bananas are done remove them from the pan and cut each banana in to 3 pieces and set them aside. Get whatever the nuts you have :-) and lightly pound them in to small pieces. Put them on the same pan and roast them. Remove the nuts in to a small bowl. Take the banana pieces and arrange them on a dessert bowl. Add one spoon of treacle, some chocolate sauce and scoops (and scoops) of ice cream. Sprinkle a some crushed nuts over the servings and enjoy! Just make sure that you have plenty of extra bananas to enjoy and serve the bananas warm with chilled ice cream to get the best sensation...
