Ingredients
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 brown speckled bananas (peeled, halved lengthwise and crosswise)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tablespoons banana liqueur
- 2 tablespoons light rum
- 1 pint non-dairy vanilla ice cream
Steps
- Into a large frying pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, salt and sugar. Cook until sugar has dissolved.
- Add the bananas and walnuts and continue to cook until lightly browned. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon.
- Flip over, and cook again until lightly browned. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon again.
- Add the liqueur and rum to the pan. Using a long-reach lighter, carefully light the sauce, and spoon the flaming sauce over the bananas until flame is extinguished. Serve with ice cream.
