PLANTAINS IN BUTTER RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook and stir almonds in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and toasted, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Stir sugar, rum, and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave until hot, stirring once, 2 to 3 minutes.

BAKED PLANTAINS WITH BROWN SUGAR & RUM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Trim the ends of the plantains and peel off the skin. Slice them on an angle to get 1/2-inch-thick oval slices. Layer the plantain slices in the baking dish so they overlap slightly. Sprinkle on both sugars and the cinnamon. Drizzle the rum and orange juice over the plantains and dot the butter pieces on top. Bake until the plantains are golden brown, tender, and have lost their shape a bit, 30 to 40 min. Let cool for at least 10 min. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BAKED PLANTAINS IN A BROWN SUGAR-RUM SAUCE

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.
