Sweet Risotto With Exotic Bananas Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 c. arborio rice
- 3 x exotic ripe bananas (about 1-1/3 lb total peeled and minced weight)
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 3 c. lowfat milk
- 1/4 c. creme de cacao
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- 6 Servings
- Sprinkle about a third of the rice in the bottom of a 2-qt casserole dish. Then sprinkle on a third of the bananas and a third of the sugar on top of them. Continue sprinkling in thirds till you're done.
- Pour on the lowfat milk and creme de cacao and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and bake in a 375 degree pre-heated oven till the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 1 hour. Serve hot.
- We discovered which it also tastes good cool, standing in front of the refrigerator :-)
- You can substitute skim lowfat milk or possibly evaporated skim lowfat milk instead of whole lowfat milk.
- Also, if exotic bananas aren't available, substitute regular ones. I used evaporated skim lowfat milk, regular bananas, and I think I left out the liqueur. Arborio is the short-grained Italian rice traditionally used for risotto. My regular supermarket does carry it. Perhaps another kind of work.
