Sweet Plantains Recipe - Cooking Index
| 2 | Ripe black plantains - (to 3) | |
| 5 tablespoons | 75ml | Unsalted butter - divided |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Ground cinnamon |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Natural vanilla extract |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Brown sugar |
To peel the plantains, cut off ends and discard. With a paring knife, make 3 shallow slits lengthwise along the seams of the skin and peel away. Split the plantains lengthwise.
Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and place over medium-low heat (plantains have a high sugar content and will burn if the heat is too high). Fry the plantains in a single layer, until golden on the bottom then turn over with a spatula. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar and let cook a few more seconds, just to begin caramelizing the sugar.
Just before serving, melt remaining tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce. Serve immediately.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
