This was a delicious plantain recipe. Loved the whole buttered-rum element with the orange.

These were so good. I served them as a side to a Carbbean meal so omitted the creme fraiche. Along with recipe#373817#373817 recipe#160331#160331 and a coconut lime rice. Made for ZWT 5 for team Zaar Chow Hounds

Delicious! This is the first time that I've ever tried plantains, but it won't be the last. The spices were great on these and it was simple to prepare. Make sure that you have ripe plantains. Thanks susie cooks. Made for ZWT3.

Riper plantains would have made this dish a bit better but I won't fault the recipe. My 3 y.o. inhaled his! This was easy and quick to throw together! Thanks!
