DRESSED BANANAS

When I was a kid I never went to a card party or gathering of any kind without seeing dressed bananas on the table. My Dad alone would go through at least a banana and a half!! People would ask my mother to make these and bring them as a dish for potluck parties, so I was in charge of smearing on the mayo. They sound odd when you read the ingredients, but just give them a try. I loved them then, and I have to admit, I make them every now and again now! Of course now I choose a healthier mayo :)

Time 5m

Yield 3 dressed bananas, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 banana, per person
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, enough to coat the banana
1/4 cup dry roasted salted peanut, chopped

Steps:

  • Chop the peanuts into small pieces. They should be like the chopped peanuts you sprinkle on a sundae.
  • Peel the banana, and cut into 3 pieces. Smaller bananas will make 2 sections.
  • Rub the outside of the banana with a thin coat of mayo. Just enough for the peanuts to stick. Too much will just make them a goopy mess. You can use a brush for this, but I always just used my nice clean hands. It's just enough to make the banana shiny with the mayo coating. You may not use the entire 1 Tbsp of mayo, so don't worry if you have some leftover.
  • Roll the banana in the chopped peanuts to completely cover. There should be an even coating of peanuts on the banana pieces, in a single layer.
  • Put them on the serving plate, and wrap the plate with plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge until ready to eat. These are best if eaten the same day so the nuts stay crunchy!

NUTTY BANANAS

This dish can be prepared with walnuts, honey-roasted peanuts or another nutty topping. And the mayonnaise and the sugar could be replaced by a salad dressing or plain yogurt. Either way, it's an easy way to dress up bananas.-Elizabeth Montgomery, Allston, MA

Tips:

  • Choose the right banana. For best results, use a ripe but firm banana. Avoid bananas that are too green or too ripe, as they will not hold up well on the grill.
  • Prepare the grill. Preheat your grill to medium heat. If you are using a gas grill, preheat it for 10-15 minutes. If you are using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and let it burn until the coals are white-hot.
  • Prepare the bananas. Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise. Brush the bananas with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle them with your desired seasonings.
  • Grill the bananas. Place the bananas on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the bananas are heated through and have grill marks.
  • Serve the bananas. Serve the bananas immediately, topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include chopped nuts, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and ice cream.
  • Conclusion:

    Grilled bananas are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up ripe bananas and they can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give grilled bananas a try!
