***SEASONING MIX***
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon anise seed -- ground
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large bananas
1/2 cup pecans -- halves or chopped
1/2 cup water
1/2 pound unsalted butter -- (2 sticks)
1 cup dark brown sugar -- lightly packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
2 tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream
1 tablespoon Cognac
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Vanilla ice cream
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Peel the bananas and cut them into diagonal slices about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, roast the pecans, stirring constantly, until they begin to darken and give off a rich toasted aroma. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a 10-inch skillet whisk together the water, butter, and sugar. When the butter melts, add the seasoning mix and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, then add the reserved bananas and pecans. Combine to cook, stirring gently, for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
