Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence. This is a lovely dessert or sweet accompaniment to Arroz Con Pollo or another savory latin dish! I love to eat it with Lechon Asado and Black beans and rice; I think it offsets the garlic well.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 -3 ripe black plantains
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • 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.

These sweet plantains were delicious, but they were a bit too soft for my taste. I would have preferred them to be a bit more firm.

These sweet plantains were disappointing. They were not as sweet as I expected and they were a bit bland.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The plantains were not ripe enough and they turned out mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.
