Baked Mexican Bananas with Cinnamon
3 bananas, quartered horizontally
1/2 tsp. grated orange zest
1/4 tsp. grated lime zest
1/2 C. fresh orange juice
1 tsp. fresh lime juice
1/4 C. raisins or currants
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them, arrange the bananas in a single layer. In a small bowl, combine the zests, juices, currants, vanilla, and cinnamon and whisk to blend. Pour over the bananas and bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until the bananas are lightly browned and bubbling. Use a spatula to put 3 banana pieces in the center of each plate and spoon the sauce from the dish over them.
