Grilled Muay Thai Bananas

This is an other awesome recipe from Barbecues Galore. "Grilled bananas are pure awesomeness. Definitely not 'low-fat' but it's awfully delicious. Combine with some ice cream for a dessert that you will love." Enjoy!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  bananas, whole, not peeled
• 3  tablespoons coconut, grated
• 3  teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
• 2  teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
•  zest of one orange
• 4  tablespoons lime juice
• 6  tablespoons Grand Marnier
•  chocolate syrup (optional)

Directions

1. Put the bananas on the grill. Use direct, medium heat and grill until the bananas are thoroughly browned.
2. Meanwhile, heat up your frying pan and toast the coconut and sesame seeds until they begin to brown. Set aside.
3. Remove the blackened bananas. They shouldn't be so burnt that they're completely mushy.
4. Melt butter in saucepan. Add grated ginger and orange zest. Add Grand Marnier and lime juice.
5. Ignite the concoction and flare off some of the precious alcohol. Once extinguished, keep enough heat on the mixture so that it stays warm.
6. Split the bananas in half and remove from the skins. Place 2 halves on each plate. Be gentle! Evenly spoon on the hot mixture from your saucepan.
7. Top with shredded coconut and sesame seeds.
8. If using chocolate sauce, drizzle it over the completed dish.
