👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure plantains are very ripe (blackened skin) for maximum sweetness and soft texture. - 2
In a large skillet or pot, combine water, brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
💡 Profitipps: Use a wide pan to ensure even cooking of the plantains. - 3
Carefully add the sliced plantains to the simmering syrup. Ensure they are mostly submerged.
💡 Profitipps: Arrange plantains in a single layer if possible. - 4
Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, turning the plantains occasionally, until they are tender and have absorbed some of the syrup. The syrup should start to thicken.
💡 Profitipps: Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking. - 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and butter. If using rum, add it now and let it simmer for another minute.

If a thicker syrup is desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
💡 Profitipps: Add cornstarch slurry gradually to achieve desired consistency. - 7
Remove cinnamon sticks before serving. Serve warm, spooning the syrup over the plantains.
💡 Profitipps: Plátanos en Gloria are delicious on their own or served with a dollop of fresh cream or vanilla ice cream.
