Caramelized Banana Tartes Tatin
Chef Michael Mina tweaks the traditional tarte Tatin by eschewing the usual apples for bananas—one of his favorite fruits.

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The tarts can be baked early in the day and kept at room temperature.
Serve With
Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
Suggested Pairing
The toffee and dried-citrus-peel notes of a good tawny port will play off the flavors of Mina's caramelized banana tarts and gingerbread cookies (and because tawny ports stay good for two to three weeks in the refrigerator, there's no need to finish the entire bottle).
