Instruction manual
1
Rinse thoroughly the fruits that you intend to serve as a dessert under a stream of cool water. Dry the fruits by placing them on a napkin or dishcloth.
2
If you plan to decorate your meal with a large fruit plate or basket, serve bananas unpeeled to the table. Beautifully arrange the fruits on a platter or in a vase, placing them next to other bright fruits, such as oranges, grapes, strawberries and pineapple.
3
Peel bananas with your hands and bite in small pieces, peeling to half. If there are special fruit devices on the table (a small plate, fork and knife), bananas must be completely freed from the skin. Then put on a dessert plate and eat with a knife and fork. Leave the peel on the edge of the plate.
4
Pieces of peeled banana can be served on the table. Cut it immediately before serving. Peel the fruit and cut into rather large rings obliquely. If the pieces are thin, they will quickly lose their shape and spread over a plate. And to take such miniature slices is quite difficult. To prevent the peeled banana from blackening, sprinkle it with lemon juice. Banana slices are also best served in combination with other fruit slices (oranges, kiwi, red apples). In order to facilitate the guests the process of transferring sliced fruit into their plates, stick a canapé skewer into each slice.
5
If you want to surprise guests with an unusual dessert, prepare bananas in chocolate. Fry the almond shavings in a pan until golden brown. Melt a bar of milk chocolate in a water bath. Peel the bananas and cut them into four parts. Dip the pieces in chocolate and then roll in chips. Put dessert on parchment and wait for the chocolate to solidify. Insert the skewers into banana slices and serve to the table, decorating the dessert with almonds.
