HAM-BANANAS(A) USENET Cookbook HAM-BANANAS(A) PAUPIETTES DE BANANES AUX JAMBON HAM-BANANAS - Bananas with ham and paprika INGREDIENTS (Serves 4) 4 bananas (fairly unripe, but not green) 4 slices of ham 6 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup double cream (whipping cream) paprika salt and pepper PROCEDURE (1) Peel bananas, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika (be generous with this). (2) Wrap a slice of ham around each banana. (3) Place bananas in a greased, oven-proof dish and pour cream over them. (4) Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. (5) Bake at 400 deg. F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. (6) Serve cold (but not refrigerated). NOTES This comes from the Vogue French Cookery Book. It seems to go down rather well as an appetizer, although it would make a nice supper snack, I suppose. RATING Difficulty: easy. Time: 5 minutes preparation, 20 minutes cooking. Precision: Approximate measurement OK. CONTRIBUTOR Nigel Titley British Telecom, Ipswich, UK mcvax!ukc!btnix!titley
