[realfood] Banana Chimichangas

Banana Chimichangas

2 1/2 pounds bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon honey
6 ounces rum
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 12-inch flour tortillas

Melt butter in saute pan. Add the sugar, spices, honey
and rum. Let simmer over medium heat for five minutes
or until it reaches the consistency of maple syrup.
Add sliced bananas to the sauce mixture. Cook for 1
1/2 minutes more, or until bananas become slightly
soft. Remove pan from heat and pour the entire
contents through a strainer. Remove bananas from the
strainer and put them into the refrigerator to cool.
Reserve sauce in another container.

After bananas have cooled, mix together the egg and
milk in a bowl. Lay out the flour tortillas. Place 1/4
of the banana mixture in the center of the tortilla,
leaving about 3/4-inch around the edge of the
tortilla. With a brush or your hand, rub the remaining
area of the tortilla with an egg wash. Fold the sides
of the tortilla toward the middle.

Take the end of the tortilla closest to you and roll
over the banana mixture until the tortilla is closed
like a burrito. Heat oil in a pan until it reaches
350-375 degrees. Lay the burrito in the hot oil in the
pan and fry until golden brown. Remove and place on a
towel. Slice diagonally with a serrated knife and
serve with the remainder of the sauce and ice cream.
