Irresistible Caramelized Banana Recipe

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The use of a wide-bottomed non-stick skillet allows caramelizing the banana halves evenly without sticking. - The melted butter with the brown sugar forms a silky toffee that envelops the fruits completely. - The lemon juice cuts through the excess sweetness of the brown sugar and enhances the balanced acidity of the cooked banana.

Ingredients

Main Course

4 ripe silver bananas
100g brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Instructions

Main Course

Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them in half lengthwise.

In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the brown sugar and stir well until dissolved.

Place the banana halves in the skillet, turning to coat them with the caramel.

Sprinkle the cinnamon and lemon juice over the bananas to enhance the flavor.

Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden and caramelized.

Remove from heat and serve immediately with ice cream or as you prefer.

Chef Tips

- Choose ripe silver bananas with yellow spotted skin, but with firm pulp so they don't fall apart in the pan. - Turn the slices delicately with a wide silicone spatula to preserve the whole shape of the halves. - Keep the heat low so that the brown sugar caramelizes slowly without burning or making the syrup bitter.

Variations

- Flambéed bananas: add two tablespoons of aged cachaça or brandy and flambé in the skillet. - Touch of nuts: sprinkle chopped walnuts or sliced Brazil nuts in the final minutes of cooking. - With orange zest: replace the lemon juice with juice and zest of Bahia orange in the caramelization.

Substitutions

- The silver banana can be replaced by ripe plantain or dwarf banana, reducing 1 minute in the dwarf banana's time. - The brown sugar can be replaced with demerara sugar, honey, or finely grated rapadura. - Regular butter can be replaced with clarified butter (ghee) or unflavored coconut oil.

How to Store

Consume preferably hot immediately after preparation. Leftovers can be kept in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat over low heat in the pan with a spoonful of water to loosen the syrup.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not indicated to freeze caramelized banana. When thawing, the banana fiber loses its structure becoming excessively soft and watery, while the caramel dilutes losing its full-bodied consistency.

What to Serve With

Serve immediately accompanied by vanilla or Tapioca ice cream, grilled queijo de coalho, or a slice of minas cheese. An extra pinch of freshly ground cinnamon finishes the dish with elegance.
