TGRWT2 (Excuse me)
This one’s by Mica. The silly title stands for They Go Really Well Together. Here we go. This is a recipe for banana with parsley and sesame nougatine stuff, which looks like this:

Banana Ice Cream
1 banana
6 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1 vanilla bean
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
Mash banana, mix with de-seeded vanilla bean and maple syrup. Add ice cream, mix quickly and refreeze.
Sesame parsley nougatine
200g sesame seeds
1 bunch of parsley
250g castor sugar
Dry-fry seeds and parsley leaves together in a frying pan. Set aside.
Dry-caramalise sugar in a heavy-based saucepan. Turn off heat.
Add sesame and parsley. Mix and pour thinly onto grease-proof paper.
Break into pieces when cool.
Put 1/4 of the mixture into a food processor, process until it becomes crumbs.
Fried banana
Bananas, 1/2 per person
Maple syrup, 2 tbsp per person
Chop banana, fry in maple syrup, serve around ice cream and nougatine as per picture.

Thanks for your entry Mica, I am happy to include it in the round-up – it isn’t too late! This looks really pretty, I was just wondering if you think the flavour combination worked? Did the banana and parsley go well together? Which flavour was most prominent? It looks delicious, I will have to try it!!
