Bananas Managua Recipes

BANANAS MANAGUA

Steps:

• Peel bananas and slice diagonally, 1/4 inch thick. Pour orange juice into a small, shallow bowl. In another small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Dip a third of the banana slices into the orange juice and then into the brown sugar mixture. Add to the pan and cook until lightly browned and glazed on both sides (about 1 minute total). Spoon into 2 shallow dessert dishes. Repeat two more times with the remaining bananas.
• When all are cooked, add lime juice and any remaining orange juice and brown sugar mixture to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture boils and becomes syrupy (this happens quickly). Pour evenly over bananas.
• Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.

MANGO-BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Take about 1/4 of the chopped mango and puree in a food processor or blender until it is the same consistency as mashed bananas; it should yield about 1/2 cup pureed mango. Reserve remaining chopped mango.
• Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl.
• Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a small bowl until blended; mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Fold into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chopped mango, pureed mango, banana, coconut, and walnuts. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
