Banana Bliss
Ingredients
* 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground anise seed
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 4 large bananas
* 1/2 cup pecans, halves or chopped
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
* 1 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 tablespoons banana liqueur
* 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
* 1 tablespoon Cognac
* 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
* Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Peel the bananas and cut
them into diagonal slices about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside. In a small nonstick
skillet over medium heat, roast the pecans, stirring constantly, until they
begin to darken and give off a rich toasted aroma. Remove from the heat and set
aside. In a 10-inch skillet whisk together the water, butter, and sugar. When
the butter melts, add the seasoning mix and bring to a boil, whisking
frequently. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, then add the reserved bananas
and pecans. Combine to cook, stirring gently, for 4 minutes. Remove from the
heat and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
