Banana flambé

I found banana's at the market for 24 cents a pound! So tonight I decided to make something yummy with the bananas. We had a wonderful Sunday lunch. I woke up around 9 and put a pork tenderloin in the oven. I cooked it slow for 2 1/2 hours. It was so tender and yummy. I served it with gravy, rice, and garden peas. We had leftovers tonight and then finished it off with this yummy dessert! Enjoy!







- I slice the banana's fairly large because they will cook down and get too mushy if you slice them up too thin.





For this dish I sliced up three banana's.
1 cup of brown sugar
1 stick of butter
1 teaspoon of good vanilla
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
Cinnamon
Brandy, rum, bourbon or Tuaca (to flame at the end)
A salon client gave me the Tuaca for a present. It is good Italian with hints of citrus and vanilla.
I used this tonight. You can skip this step but it does give a good flavor and the presentation is a lot of fun
if you are having guest over for dessert!




Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet.




Put the Brown sugar in the pan. And cook the banana's.




Put in a dash of cinnamon.



Add the walnuts in the pan so that they roast a little in the pan and pick up some of the flavor!




Stir carefully so that you don't make the banana's mushy.





Once they are tender and the sauce has thickened you can splash in the Tuaca. Have a torch lighter handy and immediately light on top of the bananas where you splashed it in the pan. It will light up and flame and burn out the Tuaca and give the dish a caramelized flavor.




I tried to get a shot of the flame. Can you see it? It is a low flame because I don't put in too much.




Tonight I served this over 2 scoops of Vanilla bean ice cream. It was divine!









I like to save the leftovers for breakfast. It is so yummy over hot oatmeal in the morning. I have served this over oatmeal for breakfast so many Winter mornings when Emily was in High school. We enjoyed it sooooo much! I just left off the Tuaca!


Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit! Have a wonderful evening and come back again soon!
