Serves 4
Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas
- 75g caster sugar
- 15g unsalted butter
- ½ red chilli, deseeded, finely sliced
- 50ml dark rum
- 60ml coconut milk
- Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Method: How to make Gordon’s hot bananas
- Sprinkle the sugar over the base of a wide, heavy, non-stick frying pan and place over a high heat until it melts and begins to caramelise around the edge of the pan. Chop the chilli and add to the sugar.
- Peel and roughly slice the bananas on the diagonal.
- Add the bananas and coat in the caramel, then add the butter. Allow the bananas to caramelise for 2-3 minutes before pouring in the rum and flambéing. Let the flames burn out, then pour in the coconut milk and swirl to combine. Cook out for a further 1-2 minutes before removing from the heat.
- Spoon the hot bananas into the bottom of the serving glasses/bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to serve.
