Instructions
- Toss together brown sugar and plantain slices.
- Over medium flame, heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Sauté plantains in hot oil on each side for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer plantains to serving plates. The coating is sticky so do NOT drain on paper towels.
- Combine honey, tequila, cinnamon, and warm melted butter in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly smooth.
- Spoon sauce over plantains. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Select yellow or black plantains for optimum flavor and tenderness. We do not recommend substituting bananas for plantains.
- Almond Tequila - If you don't have any on hand, feel free to use regular tequila and add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.
