Grilled Plantains with Citrus Glaze
Serves 4 as a side dish
Ripe plantains take extremely well to the grill!. You could serve them as is (seasoned with just salt), but I like to brush a not-too-sweet citrus glaze over the pieces when they are almost done!. (Don't brush on the glaze earlier; or it will burn!.) Grilled plantains are great with grilled pork, beef or chicken!.
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 large ripe plantains (yellowish black or black)
1 tablespoon canola or other tasteless oil
Salt
Method:
1!. Light a grill fire!.
2!. Combine the orange juice, lime juice, and brown sugar in a small saucepan!. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar!. Simmer until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a thin syrup, about 3 minutes!. Remove from the heat and set aside!.
3!. Trim the pointed ends from the plantains!. Cut the plantains into 3-inch chunks!. Use a paring knife to slit the skin lengthwise in several places on each piece!. Carefully remove the skin with your fingers and discard it!. Cut each 3-inch chunk in half lengthwise!. Toss the plantains, oil, and salt to taste in a large bowl!.
4!. Grill the plantains over a medium-hot fire, turning once, until browned, about 7 minutes!. Brush the glaze over the plantains and continue to grill, turning once, until richly colored, about 2 minutes!. (It's fine if the plantains blacken in spots!.) Serve immediately!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
