Fried sweet plantains
As the plantains ripen, they turn yellow and black spots start to appear, just like the bananas you are familiar with. Ripe plantains are soft and slightly sweet but without the banana flavour. They are delicious caramelised in a skillet with butter and a little sprinkle of cinnamon.
