Bananas For Barbecue Recipes

BBQ RUM & CARAMEL BANANAS

Steps:

• Mix the butter with the sugar and treacle, then add the rum. Make a split through the inside curve of each banana skin - be careful not to cut all the way through. Spread a spoonful of the spiced butter inside each skin.
• Place the bananas, curved-side up - so the butter doesn't leak when it melts - onto individual sheets of foil large enough to wrap them completely. Crimp up the foil to make a parcel, then put onto the embers for 15 mins, turning once. The bananas should be sticky and caramelised, but check one and cook for longer if necessary. Serve with a scoop of ice cream.

BANANAS FOSTER ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Place banana, coffee-flavored liqueur, butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon on a large section of heavy aluminum foil. Bring up 2 sides of foil to touch and fold down twice to seal. Double fold ends of packet to securely seal.
• Place packet on preheated grill and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

GRILLED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange bananas onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar, lemon juice, honey, and orange juice over the bananas; cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 5 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

GRILLED BBQ BANANAS WITH RUM

Steps:

• Take 4 pieces of foil and coat each with the butter on one side. (Cooking oil spray works well too.).
• Mix the brown sugar, rum and lemon juice in a small bowl.
• Coat each banana with the mixture and wrap tightly in the butter lined foil.
• Place on the grill for about 15- 20 minutes and enjoy.

BBQ BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut 4 large rectangles of baking foil, peel the bananas (keeping them whole) and lay one on each piece of foil. Stab them carefully in several places with a small toothpick.
• Mix together rum, sugar, orange juice and cinnamon, add to each parcel and place 1/4 of the butter on top of the banana in each parcel.
• Carefully join up the long sides of the foil over the banana and fold over several times to seal, then fold up the short ends of the foil so that the liquid can not escape during cooking.
• Place the parcels on the BBQ and grill for 15 minutes, turning them over once after 7 minutes.
• Open the parcels carefully and transfer to serving dishes, pour over liquid that is left in the foil, decorate with orange slices and serve with whipped cream or icecream.

BBQ BANANA

Steps:

• Hold banana with both ends facing up and cut through the skin down the center, lenghtwise, not piercing the banana.
• Pull the skin apart and make 8 horizontal slices into the banana, about 1/2 inch apart or so.
• Place a piece of the Hershey bar into a slice, and a Marshmallow into the next one, and so on until all slices are filled.
• Pull the skin of the banana closed again and wrap the banana in foil.
• Place banana on it's side, either on BBQ grill, with medium heat setting, this can also be done in a 350 degree oven.
• Let the banana cook for 10 minutes or until the banana is soft to the touch.
• Unwrap banana (the skin will most likely be dark in color or seem burned), let stand for 5 minutes (can be very hot), and enjoy!

GRILLED BANANAS

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Slice the bananas, in their skins, in half crosswise and then lengthwise so each banana yields 4 pieces. Set aside on a clean platter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the honey on the cut sides of the bananas and sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar. Let the bananas sit for 5 minutes.
• Place the bananas, cut side down, on the center of grill. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Using a pair of tongs, turn them over and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the skin pulls away from the bananas. Remove the bananas from the grill and serve them immediately, on top of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with bourbon or liqueur, if desired.
