Banana Split: The kids will love it.





Split Banana 3/4 apart and place in dish. Put 3 small scoops of icecream ( Preferrable Vanilla ) in the middle of the banana.


Place a small scoop of icecream either side of the bana.





Use the cream out of the can to place on top of the 3 scoops of ice cream in the middle.





Finish with some granulated nuts or hundreds %26amp; thousands sprinkled over the top.
ok this is so simple, lay out some tin foil, one piece per banana and add what ever you want, like sugar, tofee, syrup, fruite, just anything nice and sweet, wrap it roughly in the tin foil but not to tight and chuck on the barbeque, it goes all gooey and mixed together, its soooo good!
Banana pancakes are yummy and loved by my daughter but you do have to cook them on a fry pan although you could use a non stick pan and no butter.





two mashed bananas


one cup plain flour


half cup milk


third of cup sugar


one and half teaspoons baking powder


one beaten egg





combine all indgredients in a medium sized bowl and mix till combined. place one tablespoon on preheated frypan and when bubbles turn over. Depending on your frypan you might fit 4 to a pan. Serve immediately with mayple syrup and extra bananas if desired





Serves 2-3





Mollie Katzen makes a yummy banana cake/loaf so you might want to check out her website to see if it is listed or by her moosewood cookbook.





Evidently you can freeze bananas but the skin will go black but the bananas are supposed to be ok to eat. If you do use this use them in a smoothie or cake.





I know you can buy dried banana chips but i dont know how to make them you probably need some kind of dehyrating machine that would dry them out for you.
cook them gently on the hob in orange juice - and some sugar if you like. Then serve them with creme fraiche.


If it's adults eating them, you can pour some brandy over at the end, then turn off the lights and set fire to the bananas as you bring them to the table, for a great effect! The flame lasts for just a few seconds.

------------------------------------





Ingredients


1 banana blossom (1 to 1-1/2 pounds) - available in Asian markets


2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


4 cups water


1 large whole chicken breast (about 3/4 pound)


1 cup loosely packed mint leaves


1 cup loosely packed basil leaves


1/2 pound mung beans sprouts


1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced


1/2 cup peanuts, roasted (see below) and coarsely ground


1/3 cup Tuk Trey Salad Dressing





Instructions


Fill a large bowl with water mixed with the juice of 1 lemon. Set aside.





Remove the tough outer layer of the banana blossom and discard it, along with the undeveloped ';baby'; bananas inside. Carefully pull away the next several layers of leaves, regularly cutting into the stem to make it easier to break them off (the aim is to keep the leaves whole if possible). Lay several leaves on top of one another and slice the leaves crosswise into 1/4-inch wide strips. To keep the leaved from turning black, place sliced leaves in the acidulated water, turning occasionally.





Continue in this fashion, releasing the leaves discarding the undeveloped bananas and cutting the leaves into strips, until you reach the ';heart.'; Cut this center in half lengthwise, remove as many';babies'; as possible, and slice the remaining leaves widthwise about 1/4-inch thick.





In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the chicken breast, return to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the meat is tender.





Remove the chicken from the pan and let cool slightly, then shred the meat with your fingers.





In a large salad bowl, toss all the vegetables, mint and basil together with the chicken. Setting aside a handful for garnish, mix in the ground peanuts. Add dressing and toss. Sprinkle with the remaining peanuts and serve immediately.





Roasted Peanuts


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put raw peanuts in a shallow pan and bake, stirring occassionally to ensure even roasting , until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. When the nuts are cold, grind them with mortar and pestle.
