GRILLED BANANAS WITH CINNAMON CREME FRAICHE AND HONEY
Steps:
- Remove bananas from the bunch. Place whole bananas with skins on a preheated grill to medium. Grill for about 7 minutes turning once until the skins begin to brown and soften.
- Remove the bananas from the grill with tongs. Place them on a platter. Serve banana right in its skin. Using a paring knife, carefully cut a slit down the length of the banana and press it open to reveal the flesh. Top with a dollop of creme fraiche and some diced strawberries. Finish it off with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm.
- Danny's note: This dish is a great make-your-own dessert. Just set out a tray of grilled bananas and bowls of the toppings. Guests can top assemble their own desserts.
GRILLED BANANAS
Steps:
- Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
- Slice the bananas, in their skins, in half crosswise and then lengthwise so each banana yields 4 pieces. Set aside on a clean platter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the honey on the cut sides of the bananas and sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar. Let the bananas sit for 5 minutes.
- Place the bananas, cut side down, on the center of grill. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Using a pair of tongs, turn them over and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the skin pulls away from the bananas. Remove the bananas from the grill and serve them immediately, on top of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with bourbon or liqueur, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: Use ripe bananas with yellow skin and no green tinge for the best flavor and texture.
- Grill the bananas over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning and allow them to caramelize evenly.
- Keep an eye on the bananas: Bananas can burn quickly, so be sure to watch them closely while they're grilling.
- Serve the bananas immediately: Grilled bananas are best served hot off the grill. You can top them with maple crème fraîche, honey, or your favorite ice cream.
Conclusion:
Grilled bananas are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a cozy winter night. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both flavorful and impressive. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give grilled bananas a try.
