Posted for RecipeZaar World Tour 2006. Use a small long dish with low sides to place your foil into while assembling these so that you don't let the liquid escape while you are folding up the parcel. REGION: New Zealand.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut 4 large rectangles of baking foil, peel the bananas (keeping them whole) and lay one on each piece of foil. Stab them carefully in several places with a small toothpick.
  2. 2
    Mix together rum, sugar, orange juice and cinnamon, add to each parcel and place 1/4 of the butter on top of the banana in each parcel.
  3. 3
    Carefully join up the long sides of the foil over the banana and fold over several times to seal, then fold up the short ends of the foil so that the liquid can not escape during cooking.
  4. 4
    Place the parcels on the BBQ and grill for 15 minutes, turning them over once after 7 minutes.
  5. 5
    Open the parcels carefully and transfer to serving dishes, pour over liquid that is left in the foil, decorate with orange slices and serve with whipped cream or icecream.

Wonderful! We baked these in the oven for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. I left out the rum and used a splash of vanilla instead because my kids were going to consume this. We served it with ice cream and it was delicious!

    What a neat recipe! The banana takes on such a nice flavor and the flavors complemented it beautiful. I just used "sugar in the raw" (brown box at WalMart) because I'd never heard of demerara sugar, much less knew where to look for it! Can't wait to make this again for my 4th of July cookout! Thanks for sharing, kiwi!

    This was RRRIICCHHH!!! WHOO HOO it was good. I am sorry to say that there will be a shortage in my hometown for bananas this summer because this will be something prepared quite a bit at my house! At first, I didn't know what it would "go" with (think pound cake, cookies, etc.). It never made it to the "go with"! I did have to make some changes, but thank goodness, not many. I wasn't quite sure what demerara sugar was at first, so I used brown sugar. Instead of using plain rum, I have been hoarding a small bottle of banana rum and this was just PERFECT for it! What a delicious combination with the orange juice! Didn't do any oranges or whipping cream or ice cream...why disguise a good thing? And...even though it says they're cooked on the grill, mine was stolen last summer (I know...cry for me...I miss it so!) and did this in the oven at 350 degrees. If you are looking for something to prepare for your cookout guests, this is SO easy and you could just wrap up several bananas at a time and pop them on the grates while things go. Thanks, Andria...this is for SURE a keeper at my house...now...to go replinish my rum supply!

    What a wonderful desert. I made a non-acholic version and subsisted the dark rum with vanilla essence. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I would be defiantly make it again and again and again. Thank you kiwidutch - Update: I'm so addicted to these I've made it as a filling for a breakfast dish, with my own touch - Pancakes With Vanilla Banana (Using an Egg Replacer).
