Wash the bananas and halve them, lengthwise. Brush with lemon juice to prevent discolouration and set aside. Then in large pan over medium heat, caramelise the brown sugar, and pour in the orange juice and Chivas Regal whisky. Reduce slightly. Add the bananas, vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, dried apricots, pecans and walnuts. Simmer over low heat for 3 – 4 minutes, then add in butter and set aside.

Serving

Place 2 banana halves on each serving dish. Spoon over sauce with the apricots, walnuts, vanilla and cinnamon. Garnish with mint leaves.
