Sesame and Toffee Bananas
Serves 8
6 large bananas, peeled and quartered
8 Tbsp light muscovado sugar
2 Tbsp butter
200ml double cream
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
Good-quality vanilla ice cream, or fresh cream, to serve
Toss the bananas in 2 tbsp of the sugar.
Heat a griddle to medium*, then cook the bananas, a few pieces at a time, until sticky and showing griddle marks. Keep warm in a low oven.
For the sauce, put the remaining sugar, the butter and cream into a saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Stir in the sesame seeds. Can be made, up to a day ahead.
To serve, put a few pieces of banana into 8 serving dishes, spoon over some of the caramel, then top with a scoop of ice cream, or fresh cream
* I use my George Forman grill.
