summer gluttony
Thought I'd post this, mainly because I seem to have stumbled on something truly wonderful:
Sin on a Plate
- For each person, take one banana and separate into sections.
- Put these sections onto skewers, and separate the sections on skewers with mint leaves, one or two leaves in between each banana section. This step is non-negotiable and very important. Fresh mint leaves are better -- yay weed control!
- Grill the banana/mint leaf skewers until the banana sections are gooey. This will usually mean the top portion of the grill, farthest away from the flame. This also usually means careful checking of the bananas to make sure they don't burn. The banana sections are reminiscent of toasted marshmallows when done.
- Once the skewers are done, serve on a plate, skewers and all, drizzled with chocolate sauce.
- Vanilla ice cream is optional -- I'm undecided as to whether the ice cream makes a mere banana split out of what should be sensuous, sinful pleasure.
Enjoy with a glass of shiraz and some sort of 4-player board game.
