Ghana. Camp 12. Banana Ghana.

Banana Ghana - A traditional Ghanaian recipe- and something from Brazil !

The Camp 12 loves the food and prepares meals from Spain, Tunisia, Italy, Brazil, Slovenia, Russia and Greece- we eat so much and so good every day!! Ilaria from Italy found out a unique recipe from Ghana and she decided to try it out (without alcohol!). It worked pretty well!

Here is the recipe :

• Cut 8 medium BANANAS in half lengthwise and then crosswise.

• Blend: 1/4 cup SUGAR and 1 teaspoons CINNAMON

• Dip the bananas in this mixture until coated.

• Place the four quarters cut side down, side by side, in a 9-inch round or square ovenproof dish.

• Blend 1 cup orange juice along with. 3 Tbs. Apricot Brandy

• Pour the orange juice-brandy mixture on the bananas

• Put in the oven for 20 minutes at approximately 200 C

• Served with coconut flakes (optional)

(Don’t judge a book by its cover ;) )

Delicious!

It turned out to be one of our favourite desserts for the entire camp duration (we prepared it more than once!) along with the Brazilian Brigadeiro (recipe below!) from Deisiane :
