Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ripe plantains, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
1 cup grated aged white Cheddar cheese
3 green onions, trimmed and chopped
Pickled Topping, recipe follows
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 shallot, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 jalapenos, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place the plantains in a baking dish, and drizzle them with the vegetable oil, and season with salt to taste.
  • Broil the plantains for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized. Sprinkle the cheese and green onions over the plantains and continue broiling for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
  • Transfer the plantains to a serving dish and garnish with the Pickled Topping and fresh cilantro leaves.
  • In a small pot, bring the white wine vinegar, water and cinnamon stick to a boil. Add in the shallot, jalapenos, and sugar, and then remove the pot from the heat. Adjust the seasonings with salt, if desired, and let the mixture set for 10 minutes.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick, and strain the liquid, reserving the pickled shallots, and jalapenos for the Plantain Gratin.
