Roasted Plantain With Vanilla Beet Syrup

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	711ml	Beet juice
1/2		Vanilla bean
2		Very ripe plantains - peeled, and
		Split in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons	30ml	Raw cane sugar - (to 3 tbspns)
4		Kaffir lime, lemon or lime sorbet

Recipe Instructions

Bring beet juice to a simmer with the 1/2 vanilla bean in a small saucepot over medium heat. Reduce juice, skimming constantly, to a syrup. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the syrup and discard the pod.

Place each plantain slice, cut-side up, on a cookie sheet and roast in a preheated 400 degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from the oven and turn the broiler on with the rack 4-inches from the broiling element. Evenly sprinkle the cane sugar over each 1/2 plantain, then place under the broiler and broil until the sugar caramelizes.

Transfer each plantain to the center of each of 4 warmed plates. Nestle a scoop of sorbet against each plantain and drizzle with the vanilla beet sauce over both.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
