Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1 tablespoon sorghum
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ripe plantains, peeled and halved lengthwise, then sliced crosswise
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, dark rum, sorghum, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until bubbly, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and plantains.
- Cook, turning the plantains until they’re browned and tender, about 3 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
