Browned Butter Bananas in Orange-Brandy Sauce
*note: we are not ritzy enough (ritzy may not be the right adjective there) to drink brandy, so I actually made this just in Orange- Sauce.

Ingredients

* 4 medium bananas
* 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
* 3 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
* 2 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate
* 1 tablespoon brandy
* 1 tablespoon water
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream
* Mint sprigs (optional)

Preparation

1. Peel bananas, and cut bananas in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 2 pieces.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter to pan, swirling to coat. Cook butter 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add bananas; sauté 1 minute or until browned and tender, turning once. Add 1 tablespoon sugar, stirring gently until sugar dissolves. Place bananas in a medium bowl.

3. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, juice concentrate, brandy, 1 tablespoon water, and salt in pan. Bring to a simmer; cook 1 minute. Drizzle sauce over bananas. Serve immediately over ice cream. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.


This is much funnier if you've watched Twilight but watching the official trailer first also helps.
