BBQ Mars Bananas
This was sent in by Moy. Who says "These are wicked. They look foul but taste divine. I did them just 2 days ago on Angelsey and the assembled crowd looked on in horror, said they wouldn't touch them with several barge poles, and then demolished the lot in one sitting."Postscript from G. M. Chef Maria: (and that doesn't stand for Genetically Modified, thank you Steve).
If you don't happen to have a BBQ handy, then simply follow all of Moy's instructions and then place each banana, suitably prepared, in the microwave for one minute per banana. For the microwave DON'T WRAP IN FOIL; just place in a microwavable bowl. A word of caution though. I did this earlier this week and the stem of the banana alarmingly caught fire. So perhaps it's best to cut off the stem to avoid an emergency services incident. This did not diminish my enjoyment of this dessert one iota, I hasten to add.
Ingredients
- 3 Bananas
- Mars Bars - I king-size
Instructions
- Slit banana length-ways, through skin and flesh "but not right through the other side" to make a pocket.
- Slice Mars Bar length-ways into 3.
- Insert 1 slice of Mars Bar into each banana.
- Wrap banana in foil.
- Place on BBQ for 3-5 minutes until Mars Bar has melted and the banana is cooked. The more it cooks the squishier "good culinary term" and more revolting it looks.
- If you like 'em firm "ooh-er missus"cook for less time.
