How to cook deliciously - Brazilian Sweet Banana and Rice Dish

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Stage

Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, and rum in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

3. Stage

Arrange bananas cut-side down in the baking dish. Pour enough sauce over bananas to cover, reserving any extra sauce for serving.

4. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until bananas are soft and sticky, about 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Bring water and brown rice to a boil in another saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

6. Stage

Combine black beans and diced tomatoes in a skillet over low heat; heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes.

7. Stage

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage links; cook, flipping often, until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Slice sausage into small pieces.

8. Stage

Scoop rice into a large bowl. Pour black beans on top. Sprinkle dill and basil on top. Add sausage; mix gently to combine. Serve bananas alongside.
