Grilled Plantain with Ice Cream

Category: Vegetables/Fruits Grilled

Ingredients
2 plantains
1 stick butter
1/2 C. brown sugar
1 qt. vanilla ice cream
1/2 qt. fresh raspberries
1 sm. bunch fresh mint leaves.
1 jar caramel sauce
cooking spray for grill
Directions

Cut plantains in quarters (first in half width-wise then in half length wise). In a sauce pan over low heat, melt butter. Be careful not to brown the butter. Once melted, slowly add the brown sugar to make a sauce. Once mixture is done, you will put very little cooking spray on the grill and add the plantains. Brush the sauce over the top and wait 2 minutes then turn plantains over and brush with more sauce. Once they are done. Warm up the caramel sauce. Plate the plantains by topping with a scoop of ice cream and hot caramel. Put a few raspberries on the side of the plate with a sprig of fresh mint.

Serves 4.
