Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 plantains, yellow streaked with black; peeled
2 cinnamon sticks
3/8 cups lights brown sugar
12 (!) tablespoons soft unsalted butter
4 tablespoons dark rum
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cut plantains in half cross-wise, then each in half lengthwise. Place in a saucepan with cinnamon sticks, sugar, half the butter, and water to cover. Bring to a simmer; cook until plantains are soft, about 20 minutes. 2. Remove plantains from saucepan, but do not discard the cooking liquid. Puree plantains through a mill or potato ricer into a large bowl. Do not use a food processor or they become gluey. 3. Stir in remaining butter and 1/2 cup or more of the cooking liquid, to make a soft and smooth puree. 4. Add rum, stir and season with salt.
