SWEET PLANTAINS
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.
MADUROS
Steps:
- Marinate the onion in the lime juice and set aside.
- In a frying pan heat up olive oil to a very high temperature, then fry the plantains until they become golden colored on both sides, making sure to turn them several times.
- Arrange the fried plantains on a serving platter and top off with marinated onion.

PLANTAIN OMELET
Breakfast is a fun way to experiment with new flavors and new ingredients. This also would be ideal for a light dinner. This omelet utilizes firm plantains much like a potato.
