4 bananas

                                  2-3 tbsp butter, softened

                                  4 tbsp brown sugar

                                  4 tsp orange rind

                                  2 tbsp rum or orange juice

                                  Cream or crème fraiche or plain yoghurt for garnish

                                  Place the bananas in their skins on the hot barbecue and leave for 6-8 mins, turning
                                  occasionally, until they turn brownish-black in colour.  Mix the butter, brown sugar,
                                  orange rind and orange juice or rum together and reserve. Place the cooked bananas
                                  (still in their skins) into individual dessert bowls. Using a sharp knife, slit the skin open
                                  and open out enough to add a little of the flavoured butter.Serve immediately.

                                  You need a serious BBQ tong  - the Bar B Tongs are ideal for lifting those
                                  bananas off the grill - sturdy BBQ tongs are useful in the kitchen all year round
                                  and available at The BBQ Factory.

                                  You can also cook bananas on the BBQ in a similar way - by either placing peeled
                                  bananas with the ingredients above in a tin foil packet or heating butter and
                                  brown sugar in a fry-pan on the grill, place the bananas in the pan and top with
                                  orange rind and juice or rum.
