Directions

1. Peel plantain by chopping both ends off and making a slit along the whole length of its skin. Slide your thumb under the slit to loosen and remove the skin. Cut the plantain crosswise and then cut each piece lengthwise. (You should have 4 pieces altogether).
2. Grill under a medium heat (or char-grill on the barbeque) turning occasionally for about 35 minutes or until cooked. When cooked, plantains are soft inside but not sticky.
3. Serve warm with peanut butter.
