Madagascar bananas baked in coffee
Posted Thu, 07 Jul 2005
I was fortunate to visit the incredibly beautiful island of Madagascar recently. What a place and what wonderful food!
I never thought I would ever, ever in my life say "No thank you" to prawns, crayfish and fresh crab, but after four days of mountains of seafood I finally surrendered. Over and above the delicious abundance of seafood, the island is also home to a wide range of fruit, including the tastiest bananas I have eaten in my life.
Two banana dishes were particularly delicious. The first one was a warm banana fritter, similar to our South African pumpkin fritter and the second one was a dessert of bananas baked in coffee.
The baked dessert is great because it’s cheap, easy to make and really tasty. For four portions you will need:
Place the bananas in a lightly buttered
ovenproof dish
Mix the sugar, coffee and liqueur and pour over the bananas
Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for 20 minutes
Serve hot with cream or ice cream
If you want to be a little bit wicked you can also sprinkle some grated chocolate over the top — but don’t blame me if the bathroom scale frowns at you!
