RED BANANAS WITH FRUIT SALSA
Makes 4 servings, equals three 5 A Day servings
Ingredients
6 medium red bananas
3 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp crushed mint leaves
Fruit salsa:
3 large clementines
1 large grapefruit
1 champagne mango, peeled and diced
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp brewed orange tea
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
Peel the red bananas and split in half. Place in a flat glass dish cut side up. Combine the lime juice and vanilla, brushing the bananas with the mixture. Generously spoon the brown sugar on the bananas.
Preheat broiler to high and place the sugar topped bananas under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until they are well caramelized. Remove from the broiler and cool for 1 minute before removing from the pan.
For the fruit salsa, peel the clementines and grapefruit and cut between the membranes to separate the segments and remove the seeds. Place in a bowl and add the mango. Add the honey, tea and nuts, mix well and chill.
To serve, divide the fruit salsa into small bowls. Place 2 halves of banana brulee in each bowl, and garnish with fresh mint.
