This is a Brazilian dish that has an odd ingredient, bananas. The bananas are almost a dessert on their own but are eaten along with rice in a dish that can be varied to one's taste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Arrange bananas cut-side down in the baking dish. Pour enough sauce over bananas to cover, reserving any extra sauce for serving.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bananas are soft and sticky, about 30 minutes.
- 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.
- Combine black beans and diced tomatoes in a skillet over low heat; heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.

BROWN RICE WITH FRIED BANANAS FROM ANGOLA
I haven't tried this, but it sounds very interesting. The brown rice is cooked with tomato juice, topped with an onion sauce and garnished with golden fried bananas. You make the sauce and fry the bananas while the rice cooks. Sounds like a yummy meal to me! From Angola, Africa. From wiki.

THAI FRIED BANANAS
This is one of my favorite recipes. I have it every time I go to a Thai restaurant topped with coconut ice cream or drizzled with honey. If you have never tried it, now is the time, it's so good! I use Nam, a variety of banana which can be found at most Asian Markets. You can also use sweet potatoes in this recipe.

Steps:
- NOTE: It is important that bananas are green and firm; otherwise they will become soggy
- Place liquid stock in medium size saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Add rice and a pinch of salt, cover tightly and turn heat to low. Simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes just until tender and remove from heat. Keep covered and set aside to cool.
- Slice 2 bananas into 1/2 inch slices and place in a bowl with sugar. Toss gently so that all banana pieces are coated with sugar.
- Peel onion and finely dice. (Using food processor is easier and quicker). Set aside.
- Place 2 tablespoons of oil in large heavy skillet over medium high heat. When oil is shimmering, add the bananas in a single layer to the hot oil. Cook 1 or 2 minutes on each side until bananas are nice and brown. Transfer bananas to a plate and set aside.
- Add the 3 remaining tablespoons of oil to the pan, allow to heat for 1 minute, then add the onion. Sauté a few minutes until the onions are softened and translucent. Season with the cinnamon and allspice.
- Add the cooked rice to the onions and cook until heated through, stirring with a wooden spoon constantly. Remove from heat, add the bananas and fold into rice mixture with the wooden spoon.
- An excellent side dish for just about any kind of meat.
