Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 large, ripe plantains, peeled and sliced 1 inch thick on the diagonal
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons dark rum

Steps:

In a large heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. In 2 batches, add the plantains and fry them in a single layer for about 4 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm in a bowl while you fry the second batch.
Transfer the second batch of plantains to keep warm with the first. In the same pan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and cream. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Return the plantains to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the sauce. Pour the rum over the top and immediately light it with a match. Quickly spoon the flaming plantains over bowls of vanilla ice cream and serve.

SAUTEED RIPE PLANTAINS

This is a yummy side dish for when you want to try something "different". The hot sauce is our addition but the original recipe excludes it. Either way this is well worth trying and takes very little time to put together
