PINEAPPLE AND BANANAS FOSTER



Pineapple and bananas foster image

this is a great New Orleans treat, created for breakfast, at Brennan's restaurant in the early 1950s. The original recipe is here transformed slightly by the inclusion of fresh pineapple, an attractive tropical touch. It's a great brunch dessert and you can make it at the stove, thus skipping the showy and risky tableside...

Time 12m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup (1.75 ounces) dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon banana liqueur
2 under ripe bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg and stir until sugar dissolves. Add banana liqueur and bring sauce to simmer. Add bananas and cook for 1 minute on each side, carefully spooning sauce over bananas as they are cooking. Remove bananas from pan to a serving dish. Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add the rum. If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will flame on its own. If not, using stick flame, carefully ignite and continue cooking until flame dies out, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. If sauce is too thin, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is syrupy in consistency. Add orange zest and stir to combine. Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve. Serve with waffles, crepes, or ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripeness is key when it comes to bananas, as they're sweeter and have a more pronounced flavor when ripe. Look for bananas with a bright yellow skin and no green tinge.
  • Caramelize the bananas: Caramelizing the bananas adds a delicious depth of flavor and a slightly crispy texture. Make sure to cook them in a hot skillet until they're golden brown.
  • Use high-quality pineapple: Fresh pineapple is best, but canned pineapple can also work in a pinch. If using canned pineapple, choose one packed in its own juice, not syrup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bananas and pineapple, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Pineapple and bananas foster are best served immediately, while the bananas are still warm and the sauce is still bubbling.

Conclusion:

Pineapple and bananas foster is a classic dessert that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of sweet, tangy, and boozy flavors, it's the perfect way to end a special meal.
