2 Large Plantains Peeled and Sliced into ¼" Thick Coins
1 Tablespoon Oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
¼ Cup Brown Sugar (Light or Dark)
¼ Cup Milk (Use any type of unsweetened Milk)
½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Heat the oil and the butter In a large saute pan over high heat until the butter is melted and sizzling. Add the plantains to the pan in a single layer as much as possible and saute for 4 minutes or until the slices are browned on one side; turn over and saute for 3 minutes; turn again. If they are well-browned on both sides, proceed to the next step, otherwise, saute a bit more.
Sprinkle the sugar evenly over all and stir/toss to mix. Pour in the milk and the vanilla and stir/toss, then cook until the milk is reduced by half. Remove from heat and serve. These are great over ice cream, too!
