Banana Pecan Brûlée Oatmeal For Two In A Pressure Cooker Recipe 55 Food

BANANA PECAN BRûLéE OATMEAL FOR TWO IN A PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in pressure cooker pot, select high pressure and set to 10 minutes cook time. Do a natural pressure release (about 5 to 7 minutes.) Turn on the broiler, with the rack in the highest position. There might be extra liquid, and I prefer my oatmeal a bit thicker. I simply turned on the saute cycle and stirred this constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid had evaporated. Turn off the saute cycle. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Spoon into oven-proof ramekins and set onto a baking tray. Layer the bananas on top and top with brown sugar. Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Top oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar and broil until bananas are caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans to serve. Broil the oatmeal until it's bubbly and caramelized (watch closely, this may take 1 to 1 1/2 minutes). NOTE: I have a brûlée torch, but didn't want to use the propane, since the broiler worked just tine. Top with pecans. Lovely!

BANANA CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saute pan. Add the bananas, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of white sugar. Stir well to blend the sugar and butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. The bananas should be lightly caramelized. Mash the bananas with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the lemon juice to the mixture, raise the heat to high, add the brandy, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, divide among 6 wide, shallow creme brulee dishes, and let cool. Place the heavy cream in a saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, and scrape the seeds into the cream with the tip of a knife. Add the scraped-out vanilla bean, and bring the cream just to a boil, then remove from heat. Reserve. Place the egg yolks and 5 tablespoons of white sugar in the top of a double boiler. Whisk them together, then stir over simmering water until the mixture becomes fairly thick (about 15 minutes). Strain the reserved cream into eggs, and stir the mixture over simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and ladle over the cooled banana puree in the 6 dishes. Place the dishes in a roasting pan, and fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the dishes from the pan, and chill them for at least 3 hours.
• When you are ready to serve, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of light brown sugar over each dish, distributing evenly. Place the dishes on a bed of cracked ice in a roasting pan, and position the pan under a broiler until the sugar caramelizes. Watch carefully, and move the dishes around so the sugar browns evenly but doesn't char. Remove and serve while the crust is still hot.

BANANA PECAN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. In another bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Whisk the dry ingredients into the liquid until combined well.
• Chop fine the banana and add it to the batter along with the pecans.
• Heat a griddle over moderate heat until hot enough to make a drop of water scatter over surface and brush with butter or oil. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup measures of batter onto griddle to form pancakes and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip pancakes with a metal spatula and cook until undersides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Serve with Berry-Maple Syrup.
• In a saucepan set over moderate heat combine the syrup with the cinnamon stick and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the berries and simmer for 1 minute. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.

BANANA CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300. Prepare some boiling water.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, banana puree and 2 T. sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally until small bubbles appear around edges of pan. Set aside.
• In a bowl, beat egg yolks and vanilla until smooth and light. Pour hot cream mixture into egg yolks, a little at a time, beating continuously until well blended. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Divide mixture among 4 ramekins.
• Arrange ramekins in a baking pan and place on middle shelf of preheated oven. Fill pan with boiling water to halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil. Bake until custard is just set, about 25 minutes. (this took an additional 9 minutes for mine, as I have deeper ramekins) Chill 2-3 hours.
• Slice bananas horizontally into 1/2" slices and arrange on top of chilled creme brulees. Sprinkle remaining sugar over tops of bananas. With cooking torch, move flame econtinuously over the surface of the ramekins, in a circular motion until sugar melts and becomes golden brown and bubbly. (this is where I failed. I was afraid to add the entire 1/3 cup sugar, so didn't get enough carmelized effect) Serve immediately.

INSTANT POT® BUTTER PECAN OATMEAL

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Set an elevated trivet inside.
• Combine oats, remaining water, coffee creamer, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, and salt in a small heat resistant bowl. Set onto the trivet.
• Close and lock the lid. Select porridge setting according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pecans and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Allow butter to brown and nuts to toast, about 1 minute depending on size of pecan pieces. Remove from heat.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 12 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Spoon oatmeal into 2 bowls and top with equal amounts of toasted pecans. Serve immediately.

BANANA WAFFLES WITH TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and preheat waffle iron.
• Place pecans in a pie plate or on a baking sheet and spread out so that they are not touching. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted and golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Coarsely chop and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 225°.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix milk, melted butter and egg yolks. Slowly stir the liquid into the dry ingredients until JUST moistened - lumps are okay. Fold the 1/2" banana pieces into the batter.
• In a clean bowl with a hand mixer, beat or whisk the egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Increase the speed to high and beat or whisk until firm peaks form and hold their shape. Sprinkle both sugars in bowl and beat or whisk until the whites are stiff and glossy. Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
• Oil, spray or butter the waffle iron. Ladle batter onto each section of the grid rather than placing it in the middle. The grids should be full but not overflowing, or the batter will seep out the sides of the iron when the top is closed. Bake until the waffle is golden, about 6 minutes, depending on the iron. Carefully lift the lid; if the waffles resist at all, they need a bit more cooking time. Transfer the waffle to an oven rack to keep warm. Continue to cook the remaining batter in 3 batches. There should be no need to re-grease the iron between waffles.
• Place waffles on plates and serve with the toasted pecans, banana slices and warmed maple syrup.

BAKED BANANA-PECAN OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring 4 1/2 cups water to a boil. Stir in oats and salt and cook 1 minute. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Bring oatmeal to a simmer over medium-high. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in milk and vanilla. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
• Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Top oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar and broil until bananas are caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans to serve.

PECAN BRIE BRûLéE

Steps:

• To make the chile-pecan paste, put the pecans into a food processor and blitz until totally ground. Gradually add the oil-the mixture should begin to come together. Now add the chile paste, garlic granules, and salt. Turn the broiler to high.
• Spread half the chile-pecan paste in an even layer over the bread slices and put them on a baking sheet. Cut the Brie into slices and put them on top of the pecan paste. Sprinkle with the sugar and place under the broiler until it has caramelized. This should only take 5 minutes, but it can vary depending on your broiler.
• Put the remainder of the chile-pecan paste into a jar. It will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month. You can use it on toast or cookies-I enjoy it spread on salty crackers when I'm peckish in the middle of the night.

BANANA OATMEAL BREAKFAST BRULéE

Steps:

• Combine milk, rolled oats, salt and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a large saucepan and mix well.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Continue to cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
• Spoon 1 cup of the oatmeal into each of oven-proof bowls spreading evenly.
• Spread 1/4 cup of yogurt over each bowl.
• Arrange sliced banana over yogurt, then sprinkle each remaining brown sugar.
• Arrange the dishes on a baking sheet or in a large baking pan and place under a preheated broiler until the sugar starts to bubble and turn dark, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately. Alternately, you may use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar.
