Yield 8 People

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 ripe black plantains
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)

Steps:

Peel the plantains and cut them in half. Slice the halves lengthwise into thin pieces. 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.) Sauté 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. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter and drizzle over before serving. Goes well with vanilla ice cream!
