Seychelles: Daube de Banane

I'll just come out and say it: I'm not a big sweet-eater. An extra slice of pizza always sounds more appetizing to me than a slice of cake. I'll choose the ham n cheese croissant over the chocolate one every time.  However, for all my blog readers (assuming there are some), I decided to make a dessert. As I'm learning currently, it can also double as a breakfast. Without further ado, Daube de Banane!

What you'll need:

2-3 very ripe plantains (so ripe they're nearly black)

1 tsp. cinnamon 

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. salt

3 tbsp. sugar (white or brown, your choice)

2 cups coconut milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Step 1: Peel plantains and cut lengthwise. Cut again in half.

Step 2: Place plantain pieces cut side up in a large saucepan.

Step 3: Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and sugar.

Step 4: Cover with coconut milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5: Bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 10 minutes, flipping plantains after 5. (A lot of the coconut milk should boil away)

Step 6: Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Continue to cook for 20 minutes.

Step 7: Flip plantain pieces back over and serve! If there is any remaining sauce in the pan, you can drizzle over the tops.
