Equipment

  • pan

Ingredients
  

Fruits

  • 1 ripe plantain with yellow skin and black patches
  • 1 tin coconut milk full fat

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon cardamom

Sugars

  • 2 tablespoon caster sugar

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the plantain into 3 equal chunks, peel and slice each chunk into 3 slices.
  • Add the coconut milk, sugar and cardamoms to a pan set to a low to medium heat.
  • Give everything a good stir, and add the plantain slices without overcrowding the pan.
  • Leave to simmer until the plantains are tender, and the coconut milk is reduced and thickened into a sauce - my dish took 40 minutes to cook.
  • Carefully transfer the plantains to a serving bowl using a slotted spoon, as they are very delicate and can break easily.
  • Garnish with desiccated coconut and serve warm or cold.

Notes

Can be served warm or cold, and is best enjoyed fresh.
