Bananas wrapped in bacon

Sounds like a strange combination but it works! The sweetness of the banana mixes with the savoury bacon. It helps to make the rashers as lean as possible by trimming as much of the fat as you can.

Serves four

Ingredients

• 4 bananas
• 4 slices of lean rashers

Method

1. Peel the bananas – remove the stringy bits as they’re often bitter
2. Wrap each banana tightly with a slice of rasher, then wrap the lot in tin foil
3. Put a skewer lengthways through the banana
4. Cook on the barbeque for around 10 minutes until the rasher is cooked through.

Answer 2

Forget the foil.
Just split the bananas lengthwise with the peel on and place cut side down on a medium hot grill laying them at a 45 degree angle. After about 3 to 4 minutes with the cut side still down rotate the bananas another 45 degrees and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. This will leave a nice diamond pattern of grill marks and the carameliztion that you want from grilled fruit. Remove the skins from the bananas and reserve the fruit in a warm place.
Meanwhile use extra thick bacon and be sure to lay it across, not in line with, the grill bars. Keep a close eye on it to prevent flare ups and turn it once or twice, this will render out much of the fat. Remove the partially cooked bacon from the grill and drain on paper towels allow to cool enough to handle.
While the bacon is still warm wrap one slice in a spiraling motion around each banana half and secure with a wooden toothpick. Return the assembled banana/bacon combos to the grill and finish cooking until the bacon is done.
It is a little extra work but the results are well worth the effort.

Sounds good what joanne said, never tried it myself, I have a good choc banana recipe for you.

Slice banana longwise (Don't peel), put some of your favourite chocolate along the opening, close up banana and wrap tightly in foil put on bbq. Delicious!!

Oh my, what a combo. Ya know, just wrap some bacon around a naner and put it on your grill over low heat and let us know how it goes. Doesn't sound too terribly hard.
