1 tablespoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
Canola oil
1 ripe plantain

1/4 cup finely diced onion
Crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or grill pan on high heat.

  • Wash collard greens thoroughly. In a medium stock pot, place collards in hot water for 3 minutes, remove and drain.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

canola oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan
1 ripe plantain
4 ounces butter
1/4 cup scallion, finely chopped
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a medium frying pan and coat with canola oil.
  • Slice plantains on the bias, then saute until brown.
  • Mix in butter and scallions until butter is melted and scallions are softened.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in honey and parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are mostly yellow or black, with no green tinge. These are sweeter and more flavorful.
  • Use a heavy skillet: A heavy skillet will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the plantains from burning.
  • Cook the plantains over medium heat: This will help to caramelize the sugar in the honey glaze and give the plantains a golden brown color.
  • Flip the plantains frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Brush the plantains with the honey glaze frequently: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the plantains hot: Plantains are best enjoyed hot, when they are crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.

Conclusion:

Honey glazed plantains are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to formal dinners. With their sweet and savory flavor, honey glazed plantains are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
