Alton Brown's Bananas Foster

Xexe's Note:

Recipe is from my favorite chef Alton Brown. I also happen to love bananas foster, so two great things in one.

• Total Time: 12 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ¼ cup dark brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon banana liqueur
• 2 under ripe bananas , sliced in half lengthwise
• ¼ cup dark rum

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat.
2. Add brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg and stir until sugar dissolves.
3. Add banana liqueur and bring sauce to simmer.
4. Add bananas and cook for 1 minute on each side, carefully spooning sauce over bananas as they are cooking.
5. Remove bananas from pan to a serving dish.
6. Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add the rum.
7. If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will flame on its own.
8. If not, using stick flame, carefully ignite and continue cooking until flame dies out, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
9. If sauce is too thin, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is syrupy in consistency.
10. Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve.
