Nugget Markets signature recipes

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 bananas (ripe), cut lengthwise into halves
  • ½ cup dark rum
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook, while stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add bananas and cook on both sides until the bananas start to soften, about 3 minutes.

Carefully add the rum (away from flame) and shake pan back and forth to warm the rum and flame the pan, or take a match and flame away from heat. Shake the pan back and forth until the flame dies.

Serve over vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
