Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Plantains with Butter Rum Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and toasting the sliced almonds, stirring frequently until they achieve a delightful golden brown hue, which should take around 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the sugar, rum, and butter.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave the mixture until it’s hot, giving it a stir halfway through, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Next, gently fold in the sliced plantains into the warm rum sauce, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top, cover the bowl again, and microwave until the plantains are heated through and tender, approximately 1 to 2 minutes more.
Step 5
Finally, serve the luscious plantains adorned with the crunchy toasted almonds for a delightful contrast in textures.
Step 6
Enjoy this sweet and nutty treat that brings a taste of the tropics to your table!.
