  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      ripe          plantains
   1      tablespoon    butter
   1      tablespoon    sugar


Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds. Heat the 
butter to
foaming in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices 
to the
butter and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are lightly browned 
and
slightly caramelized. Sprinkle the plantain slices with the sugar, 
allow
the sugar to caramelize slightly, then remove the plantains from the
skillet. Serve warm.

These plantain slices are also particularly good when served over 
vanilla
ice cream, topped with the caramelized butter from the pan.

Yield: 6 to 8 serving
