chilled
cream or vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)
Method :
Put the
raisins in a bowl with the rum. Leave them to soak for about 30 minutes
to plump up. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the sugar and stir
until dissolved. Add the bananas and cook for a few minutes until
tender. Sprinkle the spices over the bananas, then pour over the rum and
raisins. Carefully set alight using a long taper and stir gently to mix.
Scatter over the slivered almonds and serve immediately with chilled
cream or vanilla ice cream, if you like.
Choose almost
ripe bananas with evenly colored skins, either all yellow or just green
at the tips. Black patches indicate that the fruit is over ripe.
