Recipe: Bananas Foster

Vanilla Bean ice cream

Rum

Bananas

Dark Brown sugar

Butter

I need to get the exact recipe from my friend. He's an amazing cook. :) This was so delicious. From what I saw you cut up the bananas. Throw the butter, dark brown sugar together. Pour in some rum. Then try to light the rum on fire! :) It didn't exactly work as planned but the alcohol did burn off leaving the sweet taste of rum. Scoop over vanilla bean ice cream and serve immediately. I will update this recipe once I get full details but for now you can look at this delicious dessert. I really enjoyed it. This is the first time I've had it. :)

I bought the following Glorious One-Pot Meals (Spiral-bound) cookbook. It's pretty cool for a person like me with little time to cook. It has 63 recipes and teaches you a method to cook with the little red dutch oven. This particular recipe is not in the cookbook but most of the recipes are in the similar style. Elizabeth Yarnell - the author even patented this method. :) She usually has everything in the pot including rice. Being asian or being fat rather we eat way too much rice so I separated the rice from the red pot for all of my dishes. Well I adore the book. It's a bit pricey and it doesn't have many pictures maybe only like 2. But It's inspiring and it puts my little red pot to good use...

Place water, coconut juice, onion and meat into dutch oven or a pot. Heat on low for 1 hour. Place eggs in about 15 minutes before finishing. Serve over white rice.

I was impatient so I didn't wait for the coconut juice to caramelize. :D It still turned out delicious though. :) Note, I didn't use that whole pack of meat. I used about 1 1/2 pounds. The rest I placed in the freezer. :D
