Baby Bananas In Orange Sauce (Benin) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice (I used freshly squeezed)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, I did use freshly squeezed)
2 slightly under-ripe baby bananas (NOTE poster used red bananas which are about 4 inches long)

Preparation

Heat orange juice, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a skillet for about 15 minutes on low (there should be small bubbles breaking the surface, but not quite a simmer). The orange juice will reduce and thicken into a syrup.
Peel bananas and add to syrup. Cook for a few minutes per side, making sure to warm through.
Serve immediately with ice cream, pound cake, or plain. Both would be all the better!
