We have ridiculous amount of bananas in the kitchen now so we have to come out with creative ways to eat them. I would love to call it banana flambee but I can't. I didn't set my kitchen on fire. No, I mean, I didn't ignite the rum.
Ingredients:
Bananas, sugar, butter, orange juice and (golden/dark) rum.
Process:
- Bananas halved & cut in big chunks
- Caramelize sugar (about 2 tbsp) in non-stick pan
- Add butter (it browns quickly at this stage)
- Add bananas, quickly flip them to coat the caramel
- Deglaze with rum. Remove bananas out of the pan soon after the alcohol is burned off so they don't become mushy
- Add orange juice to the same pan, scrape the goodies off the pan. Reduce oj until it becomes syrupy. (Be patient, it will get there)
Serve it with our equally surplus frozen cheesecake (made it originally for a party which got canceled at the last minute). Drizzle with the oj reduction.
Verdict:
I made two batches. Was planning to freeze the 2nd batch but it was almost gone after breakfast (served it w pancakes). I suppose I can use up the rest of the bananas by making more banana compote.
