Caribbean Fried Bananas with Rum
4 Bananas (peeled)
50g / 2oz Caster Sugar
65g / 2½oz Unsalted Butter
45ml / 3 tbsp Dark Rum
Grated rind & juice of 1 lime
Vanilla ice cream
approx 8 - 12 fresh strawberries
1. Place the sugar, rum, butter, grated lime rind
and the lime juice into a large frying pan on a
low heat stirring occasionally until the sugar
has completely dissolved.
2. Cut the bananas in half down their length and
add to the pan.
3. Cook on a medium heat until the bananas are
golden brown on each side (approximately 8 10 minutes in total).
4. Keep turning them over so that each side is
coated with the sauce.
5. Remove from the heat and place the two halves
of each banana on a plate with a scoop of
vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the sauce from
the frying pan and serve decorated with one or
two fresh strawberries.
Tip - Don’t use overripe
bananas as they tend to
break in the frying pan.
