Preparation

25 mins

Low

Peel and cut the plantains on a cutting board, first in half horizontally and then lengthwise into 3 pieces. Place the butter in a cast-iron skillet and heat over medium heat. When it melts, add the plantains and fry for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Add the sugar and tequila, allowing it to heat up, as this will help it to flame more easily. Add fire and flame for 5 minutes to finish cooking the plantains. Using a spatula, carefully move to dissolve the fire. Serve in the same skillet and accompany with vanilla ice cream.
