Johanas Plantains

- 40 minutes to make
- Serves 4
My Colombian schoolmate made these sweet, caramelly plantains (or Plátanos Calados) and served them in arepas (probably like these Grandmas Colombian Arepas). Traditionally they're eaten with queso fresco as dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup panela (or coconut sugar or light brown sugar) shopping list
- 1 tbsp honey shopping list
- 2 cinnamon sticks shopping list
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (keep the pod) shopping list
- ½ tbsp salted butter shopping list
- 2 large ripe (black) plantains, peeled and cut into chunks shopping list
- 1 large *just* ripe (still a hint of green) banana, peeled and cut into chunks shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the panela, honey, cinnamon, vanilla seeds and pod, and butter in a small pot and melt together into a syrupy mixture.
- Add the plantains and banana, then cover and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often.
