Browned Butter Bananas with Orange-Brandy Sauce
Browned butter gives the dessert a rich, caramelized, almost nutty flavor. Choose firm bananas with no spots; they'll hold up better when cooked.

Not only does this dessert taste great, it is so simple to make. Great for a special occasion when you want to spend time with your guests instead of being in the kitchen. Its great for tweaking too! I substituted Bacardi Rum for the brandy, and partially added an Orange liquer (ie Cointreau) for part of the o.j. The kick of the alcohol is a great (but not overwhelming) addition to the creaminess of the butter. A low fat vanilla ice cream is the perfect compliment to this dish! I would definately use bananas that still have a bit of green. The firmness helps with turning and removing the bananas.
