Brazilian Bananas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, and rum in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange bananas cut-side down in the baking dish. Pour enough sauce over bananas to cover, reserving any extra sauce for serving.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bananas are soft and sticky, about 30 minutes.
• Bring water and brown rice to a boil in another saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Combine black beans and diced tomatoes in a skillet over low heat; heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage links; cook, flipping often, until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Slice sausage into small pieces.
• Scoop rice into a large bowl. Pour black beans on top. Sprinkle dill and basil on top. Add sausage; mix gently to combine. Serve bananas alongside.

Steps:

• Cut each banana half into 3 or 4 pieces.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; add banana slices and cook until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer banana slices to a paper towel-lined plate. Coat banana slices, 1 at a time, with cinnamon-sugar.

Steps:

• In a shallow microwavable glass baking dish or pie plate, mix butter, brown sugar and lemon juice. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir well.
• Peel bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Slice each lengthwise. Arrange 8 pieces in a single layer in the sugar mixture, turning them over once to coat. Put cinnamon sticks and lime peel around the banana pieces.'.
• Microwave on HIGH, uncovered for 2 minutes. Baste the bananas with the sauce. Microwave on HIGH for 1 or 2 more minutes, or until the bananas are soft.
• Let stand for 3 minutes.
• Garnish with coconut and serve warm with the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place the bananas into the baking dish. Combine the orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a pitcher or bowl; pour over the bananas. Dot with butter.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle with coconut before serving.
