Fairtrade Banana Fritters with Bitter Chocolate Sauce

By Gary Rhodes. Serves 4

Banana Fritters

300ml (10floz) sweet cider
100g (4oz) plain flour plus a little extra for coating
25g (1oz) caster sugar
4 Fairtrade bananas, peeled
vegetable oil for deep frying

To make the fritter batter, mix the cider, flour and sugar together. Cut each of the bananas horizontally into 4 lengths and lightly four each piece. Dip them in the batter and deep fry in hot oil for about 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain well.

To serve, place the fritters on a plate and pour the chocolate sauce next to them. Alternatively serve the chocolate sauce separately and decorate the fritters with a sprig of mint.

Bitter Chocolate sauce

300g (10oz) Fairtrade bitter dark chocolate, chopped
150g (5oz) unsalted butter
75ml (3fl oz) double cream

Place all of the ingredients together in a bowl over simmering water until the chocolate has completely melted. This sauce must be served warm.
