When shopping for plantains for this side dish, be sure to pick ripe ones with black skin and just a touch of firmness. These go very well with the Churrasco With Chimichurri Sauce or the Grilled Cornish Hens With Honey Mustard-Cilantro Glaze. A grill basket makes grilling the plantains a breeze. Ingredients:
1 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 soft black plantains, peeled (about 2 pounds) |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Place vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 7 minutes). Combine vinegar, butter, honey, basil, and salt in a small bowl. Place plantains on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 10 minutes or until tender, turning and basting frequently with vinegar mixture. Cut plantains in half diagonally.
