This is one of my favourite desserts. It’s also very quick (10 minutes!) and easy to prepare. I always have some pecans and raisins in the fridge in case I want to make a pie.

Quantity: 9” x 9” plate = 9 slices (3″ x 3″)

Ingredients:

3 cups pecans or walnuts (not soaked)
1 1/2 cups raisins
zest from 1 lemon + 2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 medium bananas

Directions:

Process nuts in food processor until small bits. Add raisins to nuts in food processor and process until the mixture starts to clump together. Gently distribute mixture on a 9”x9” plate, then press firmly to form crust. Grate lemon zest on top of crust. Juice lemon into a bowl. Slice bananas 1/4″ – 1/2″ thick and put into lemon juice; stir gently to coat bananas with juice. Spread banana slices/lemon juice on crust.

Optional:

Decorate with poppy seeds, blueberries, raspberries, slices of colourful fruit, or sprigs of mint.
