Plantains In Butter Rum Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter bottom and sides of an 8×8-inch baking dish; set aside.
• 2. Peel plantains and trim 1/4 inch off both ends. Slice plantains at an angle to make 1/2-inch oval slices. Layer the plantain slices in the bottom of the baking dish, slightly overlapping slices. (You should get 4 to 5 rows, depending on width of the plantains.)
• 3. Mix together the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the layers. Then drizzle the rum and orange juice over the layers. Distribute the butter pieces evenly on top.
• 4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and beginning to lose their shape. Cool at least 10 minutes, then serve warm or completely cooled. It's great as is, but you can also top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for an added touch of sweetness.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Boil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Serve warm. Store covered in refrigerator.

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:

• Heat grill to high. Place rum, brown sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture reduces and thickens slightly. Stir in butter until melted. Remove from the heat.
• Brush plantains with oil on both sides and grill until golden brown and caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush with the glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the glaze before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Melt altogether until runny in a glass dish or small jug in microwave. Takes about 1/2 minute on high depending on wattage of your oven.
• To serve over bananas:.
• Peel & slice lengthways 1 or 2 bananas and fry in a little butter (both sides) until hot.
• Place in a dish and pour over sauce.
