Honeyed bananas
Simple, but effective preparation, with tasty end product.
Ingredients
Method
Caramelise the honey to a nice golden brown. Add the water, and cool in the fridge.
Vac PAC the peeled bananas with 1/4 of the syrup on full compression.refrigerate for 5 hours. Open the bag, and strain the syrup, bottling it to use as a sauce/coulis for the dish.
The bananas need to be re-sealed until ready to use.
The end result is firm bananas which look cooked, and translucent, with a caramel flavour.
