Broiled Bananas With Lemon And Sugar Recipes

GRILLED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange bananas onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar, lemon juice, honey, and orange juice over the bananas; cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 5 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

BROILED BANANA CRISP

Steps:

• Peel bananas and drizzle with lemon juice; then cut in half lengthwise and then again across.
• You should have a total of 16 quarters of banana.
• Then distribute these banana quarters equally among 4 broil-and-serve dishes.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, uncooked oats, flour and allspice -- NOTE: Allspice tastes like a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, so you could probably substitute a mixture of those three if you're out of allspice or go with just cinnamon.
• Cut butter into the mixture until it resembles crumbs and then spread the crumbs equally over all the bananas.
• Turn on your broiler and place these dishes under the broiler, 5" from the heat source and broil 3 min; the idea is to brown it and warm it at the same time.
• Watch carefully, don't burn it or yourself!
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

BROILED BANANAS WITH LEMON AND SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Peel the bananas and arrange them in one layer in a gratin dish. Pour the lemon juice over them, then roll them in the juice to prevent them from discoloring. Sprinkle them with brown sugar.
• Place the bananas under the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat, and broil them until they are brown on top, about 4 minutes. Turn the bananas over and place them again under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until brown on top. They should be soft at this point when pierced with a fork.
• Cool the bananas until they are lukewarm, sprinkle them with the rum, if desired, and serve immediately.

BROILED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler,. Peel bananas and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Mix the sugar and lime juice and toss with bananas. Spread bananas in shallow baking pan and broil until sugar has melted into a glaze, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately with sour cream and chopped pecans if desired.

BROILED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Peel bananas and slice them crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices. Mix the brown sugar and lime juice and toss this with bananas. Spread the sliced bananas in a shallow baking pan and broil, as close to the heat source as possible, until the sugar has melted into a glaze - 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a pretty serving bowl and serve immediately - topped with sour cream and nuts if you wish.

BROILED SALMON WITH MUSTARD AND LEMON

Steps:

• Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
• In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
• Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
• Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

BROILED BROWN SUGAR-VANILLA BANANAS ATOP RICOTTA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler, with rack 6 inches from heat source. Mix ricotta and nutmeg in a small bowl. Mix sugars, salt, and vanilla in a small bowl. Cut bananas diagonally 1/4 inch thick, keeping slices in order as you cut. Discard tips.
• Spread 1/4 cup ricotta mixture in each of four 5-inch-wide by 1-inch-deep baking dishes. Fan 1 banana around edge of each dish, creating a circle. Gently press bananas into ricotta mixture. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bananas with water, then sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons sugar mixture. Pat sugar into an even layer on top of bananas to prevent the sugar from clumping and burning.
• Broil until sugar has caramelized and bananas have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

BANANA/LEMON SENSATION

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350°F.
• Ovens will lose heat immediately the door is opened.
• A hint for retaining temperature without heat loss when oven door is first opened is to pre-set the oven to about 50° higher than required.
• As soon as pan (s) are put into the oven, close the door and immediately reset to required temperature.
• For BANANA/LEMON SENSATION, set the oven to 400°F and drop down to 350°, at the ready.
• "Prepare" loaf pan in the usual way using a light cooking/baking spray and light dusting of flour.
• Set aside for later use.
• In a small bowl, grate the lemon and set aside (If you have an aversion to lemon, skip this step).
• In a small saucepan, squeeze the fresh lemon half.
• FOR THE LOAF: In a medium-sized bowl, mash bananas well, with a fork.
• In a separate bowl, cream butter or margarine with 1 cup sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs really well.
• In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, butter mixture, well-beaten eggs.
• Beat again.
• NOTE: If you are using a blender or food processor, please be aware of over-spills.
• Sift together (if you prefer sifting) flour, baking soda and salt.
• (HINT: Because of the lemon sauce, I do not add salt. If you do not use lemon juice, or lemon rind, salt may be added, in the quantity stipulated above) Add banana mixture to flour a quarter at a time, and mix well after each addition, by hand, with a large mixing-spoon.
• Scrape batter down sides of the bowl into the flour and mix well.
• At this point, add the grated lemon peel and mix well.
• You can never mix too much.
• Ingredients must be well-combined prior to baking.
• Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. (my oven requires the full hour).
• Remove from oven and with your cake tester, test for doneness.
• Cake tester should come out clean, with no evidence of batter.
• Using your cake tester, puncture the loaf, all over the top, but not right through.
• While loaf is still hot, carefully spoon the lemon sauce over the surface.
• This will seep into the loaf through the punctures and add flavour to the Banana Loaf.
• Set on cooling rack until the pan can be handled easily, about 1/2 hour.
• Turn the pan over and tap hard on the bottom to loosen the loaf.
• Continue cooling baked loaf, until ready to seal and put away, or serve same day.
• THE LEMON SAUCE: In a small sauce-pan, over medium heat, combine lemon juice and sugar (or other sweetener) Mix continuously and bring to a boil.
• If you have an aversion to lemon, skip this step.
