Tanzanian Baked Green Bananas in Orange Syrup

Ingredients:

120 ml orange juice

2 green, not quite ripe, bananas

80 g light brown sugar

Pinch of ground cardamom

3 tbsp lemon juice

Cooking Instructions:

Combine the orange juice, sugar and cardamon in a small pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the bananas and cut in half lengthways. Cut each half in half crossways so that you have four pieces. Place in a gratin or earthenware dish with cut sides up and brush with the lemon juice. Pour the orange syrup over the bananas and place in an oven pre-heated to 170C, baking for 10 miutes. Spoon the syrup over the bananas and serve immediately.
