FRIED SWEET PLANTAINS

Steps:

• In 2 very large nonstick skillets, heat the oil until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the plantains in a single layer over moderate heat, approximately 7 to 8 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until deep golden and tender. Drain the plantains on a paper towel-lined rack and, if desired, sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve warm.
• Make ahead: The plantains can be fried early in the day and kept at room temperature. Reheat in a warm oven and sprinkle with the optional salt before serving.

SWEET BAKED PLANTAINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
• Add the brown sugar and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce starts to thicken somewhat.
• Add the cinnamon and the rum and remove from heat.
• Place the plantains in a covered baking dish.
• Pour the sauce on the plantains.
• Cover and bake 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the macadamia nuts now, if using.
• Turn the plantains over, baste with the sauce in the dish, and continue baking uncovered for about 15 minutes.
• This will allow the plantains to brown slightly.
• Wonderful eaten alone, on ice cream or with pound cake or angel food cake.
