Plantains in Temptation Sauce
By Cooking Light
Yields 8 Servings

2 tsps. veggie oil, divided
Cooking spray
2 cups ( 1 inch thick) slices of soft black plantains, divided

Sauce:
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sherry or balsamic vinegar
2 tsps. grated lime rind
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 Tbsp. Butter

To prepare plantains, heat 1 tsp. oil in a medium skillet coated
with cooking spray over medium heat. Add 1 cup plantains; cook for 2
minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove plantains; repeat
procedure with 1 tsp of oil and remaining plantains. Set aside.

To prepare the sauce, place sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium
heat; cook until sugar dissolves, stirring as needed to dissolve
sugar evenly ( about 9 minutes). Combine the water and vinegar,
carefully add the vinegar mix to the sugar, stirring constantly ( the
mix will bubble vigorously). Cook for 2 minutes or until sugar
dissolves. Add 1-1/2 tsps. of rind, cinnamon, and cloves; increase
the heat to medium-high. Cook for 25 minutes or until mix is reduced
to 1 cup. Stir in plantains; cook for 2 minutes or until thoroughly
heated, spooning sauce over plantains. Stir in butter until melted.
Garnish with 1/2 tsp. rind.
