How to Make Drunken Plantains
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel the 3 ripe plantains and cut them in half lengthwise.
- Place plantains in a shallow baking dish. Dot the plantains evenly with 2 tablespoons of softened butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of dark rum and 1/4 cup of orange juice over the plantains.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of orange zest, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the plantains.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the plantains are soft and the sugar has melted into a delicious sauce.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of sliced almonds and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. Set aside.
- Once the plantains are cooked, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top.
- Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve immediately. Enjoy with a dollop of creme fraiche or whipped cream, if desired.
