Banana Tarte Tatin

Ingredients:

• 60g (½ cup) caster sugar
• 45g (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3-4 ripe but firm bananas
• 30g (⅓ cup) pecans, roughly chopped
• 250g (8.82 oz) puff pastry, ready-rolled
• Yogurt, crème fraîche, or ice cream, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
2. Make the caramel: Heat sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a pan without stirring. Let it bubble gently until golden. Add butter and salt, and shake the pan to combine. Pour the caramel into the base of an ovenproof pan, cast iron skillet, or another round ovenproof dish.
3. Prepare the bananas: Slice the bananas into rounds approximately 2cm thick. Place them in the caramel snuggly.
4. Roll out the pastry: Unroll your puff pastry and cut a circle just bigger than the ovenproof dish. Place the pastry on top of the bananas, tucking around the edges.
5. Bake: Place the tart in the center of the oven for approximately 40 minutes. When cooked, the puff pastry should be golden and firm to the touch.
6. Serve: Carefully invert the tarte tatin onto a plate as soon as you take it out of the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving with ice cream, yogurt, or crème fraîche.
