Grilled a little plantain last night. "Platano a la plancha"
Have to have one that has turned absolutely black - green will taste more like potatoes. If you buy some greenyuns, just leave them on the counter for a week or more till they turn black.
Sauce:
2 Tbs turbinado sugar
2 Tbs melted butter
1 Tbs lime juice
1 Tbs Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head
1/2 tps cayenne pepper
Mix it all up and baste the plantain
I sliced long ways then halved the plaintain - grilled meat down with the skin on. Pulled the skin and flipped. Grilled half of the plantain longer than the other half just to compare the results.
Blackened version
Both were good - I'll geaux for the blackened version next time
A little rum added to the sauce wouldn't hurt it a bit
Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head is a rub for grilled fruits - flavors are cinnamon and cloves

Looks great. I've grilled bananas, but haven't tried plantains yet. Sounds like a nice combination of flavors with your sauce.

Not a big fan of plantains, but those do look good!

Those do look great! Have tried plantains in Jamaica and various South American countries and just can't get a taste for 'em. Can I just have some ice cream?

Greenyuns taste like potatoes. When they turn black, they start to taste more like a banana but not exactly.
