Caramelized Bananas with Spicy Chocolate Lava Sauce

 

Bananas:

2 ripe bananas

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon butter or marg.

2 tablespoons sugar

 

Sauce:

1 1/2 ripe bananas

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

3 1 ounce squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

 

Prepare bananas: peel the bananas and cut them on the diagonal into 1/4-inch

thick slices. Toss the slices with the lemon juice to keep them from

discoloring.

Melt butter in large skillet. Turn the heat up to high, add the bananas and

sprinkle them with the sugar. Cook, rotating the bananas, for about 2 minutes,

or until they are lightly caramelized on both sides. Remove the pan from the

heat.

 

Prepare sauce: peel and coarsely chop the bananas. Place the bananas and all

other remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until

smooth. Transfer to medium size saucepan and cook on medium high heat just until

heated and barely simmer. Do not let boil. Remove from heat.

 

Place caramelized bananas on individual serving dishes. Pour chocolate sauce

over top of bananas.

Garnish with fresh bananas and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Yields 4 servings.
