Posted 4:00 PM 6/4/2012 : Let's Make a Meal: Bananas Foster

TUCSON - Today on Let's Make a Meal, "The Practical Chef," Craig Nassar, stopped by to make a classic: Banana's Foster. Here's the recipe:

Banana's Foster

Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup (1.75 ounces) dark brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon banana liqueur
• 2 under ripe bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Directions
Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg and stir until sugar dissolves. Add banana liqueur and bring sauce to simmer. Add bananas and cook for 1 minute on each side, carefully spooning sauce over bananas as they are cooking. Remove bananas from pan to a serving dish. Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add the rum. If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will flame on its own. If not, using stick flame, carefully ignite and continue cooking until flame dies out, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. If sauce is too thin, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is syrupy in consistency. Add orange zest and stir to combine. Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve. Serve with waffles, crepes, or ice cream.
