Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients except bananas in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat until reduced to ½ cup. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Brush bananas liberally with coffee mixture. Grill over medium high heat just until marked and slightly charred.
  3. Remove from heat, peel, and drizzle several more spoonfuls of syrup over bananas. Serve with remaining syrup on the side.
