Instructions

0/4

  1. Fruit preparation

    Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise. They should be ripe but still firm to the touch.

    5 min

  2. Cooking in butter

    Melt the butter in a skillet. When it starts to foam and turns a light hazelnut color, place the bananas flat side down.

    5 min

  3. Caramelization

    Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour in the lime juice. Let the juice reduce until it becomes syrupy and coats the spoon.

    5 min

  4. Flambéing

    Pour the tequila over the hot bananas. Wait 5 seconds for the alcohol to heat up, then light a match. Spoon the flaming juice over the bananas until the fire goes out.

Chef's tips

  • •Don't stir the bananas too much once in the pan, or they might turn into mush.
  • •Make sure the extractor hood is turned off before flambéing to avoid accidents.

Storage

Eat immediately. Bananas soften and lose their texture if reheated.
