SAUTEED PLANTAINS

SAUTEED BUTTERRUM PLANTAINS
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.

Steps:
- Cut ends from plantains and peel fruit. Diagonally cut plantains into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook plantains until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. With a slotted spatula transfer plantains to a plate, reserving butter in skillet.
- In a very small saucepan heat rum and coconut milk until warm. Add sugar to reserved butter and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully whisk in warm coconut milk mixture (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Cook mixture over low heat, whisking, until caramel is dissolved. Add plantains and cook, without stirring, until heated through and tender, about 5 minutes. In very small saucepan heat cream until warm and pour over plantains. Gently shake skillet to incorporate cream into sauce.
- Cool plantains slightly and serve over ice cream.

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

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm plantains. Overripe plantains will be too soft and mushy, while underripe plantains will be too hard and starchy.
- Use a sharp knife to peel the plantains. This will help you avoid cutting yourself and make the job easier.
- If you don't have coconut rum, you can substitute another type of rum, such as light rum or dark rum. You can also use coconut extract instead of coconut rum.
- Be careful not to overcook the plantains. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Serve the plantains immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Sautéed plantains in coconut rum is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The plantains are cooked until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and the coconut rum adds a sweet and tropical flavor. This dish can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert.
