BANANAS

Most people find themselves with a banana or two lingering in the fruit bowl at the end of the week, beginning to speckle and turn brown and sweet. I like to slice them, then fry them in brown sugar and cinnamon to spoon over porridge or sandwich between brown bread with honey, sea salt and butter (childhood nostalgia!). There’s a small window of opportunity with ripe bananas – you have to catch them at the right time before they go too far. If they do go a bit too brown, you can use them in a banana loaf or bread – I like to mash mine and bake them into cookies, too. Serve them with ice cream, too – they work especially well with salted caramel flavour.
