Bananas with lime syrup
This is a super easy and quick dessert and sooo delicious! If you want to rest from the kitchen this weekend but still want something sweet, this is the perfect recipe. It takes only 4 ingredients to prepare it and I’m sure that you probably have them in your pantry.
Usually when bananas are mention in the title of a dessert they are accompanied by words like chocolate, peanut butter or whipped cream. So bananas with lime may sound kind of awkward, but believe me they are delicious! At first I wasn´t so sure about this recipe, but one day we were out of dessert any my aunt and her family were coming for supper, I went to the kitchen and the first thing I noticed were some bananas, so I recalled the recipe and I prepared them. The taste of these bananas was a great surprise! Since that day, these bananas with lime syrup have become a staple dessert in my house!
I think the lesson learned with this recipe is that I should keep my mind open when it comes to new flavors and new ingredients mixed together. Besides I took this recipe from Ferran Adría’s cookbook, one of the best chefs in the world, so I should have known from the beginning that probably the recipe from a renowned chef was worth preparing.
With this amazing banana dessert I bet that your friends are all going to ask you how to make it.
- 4 Tablespoon sugar
- 8 Tablespoon water
- 1 lime
- 4 ripe bananas
- In a small saucepan combine sugar and water. Let it boil in medium-high heat. Once sugar is completely dissolved, turn off the heat and set aside to let it cool.
- Wash the lime. Grate the lime skin over the cooled syrup. Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the syrup. Mix well.
- Peel the bananas and cut them in thin slices.
- Add the bananas to the syrup and let macerate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Take them out of the refrigerator one hour before eating so they are not super cold.
- Enjoy!
