Bananas wrapped in bacon

Strange combination that works...

Sounds like a strange combination but it works! The sweetness of the banana mixes with the savoury bacon. It helps to make the rashers as lean as possible by trimming as much of the fat as you can.
Serves four

Ingredients

• 4 bananas
  
• 4 slices of lean rashers
  

Method

1. Peel the bananas – remove the stringy bits as they’re often bitter
   
2. Wrap each banana tightly with a slice of rasher, then wrap the lot in tin foil
   
3. Put a skewer lengthways through the banana
   
4. Cook on the barbeque for around 10 minutes until the rasher is cooked through
