That picture has got me hungry - and we've not long eaten. Cynthia your photos are truly amazing.
Congrats to Pat for winning!
These plantains wrapped in bacon look delicious!!!Will make them soon. What a great appetizer!!Thanks Cynthia. Enjoy Thanksgiving Day too.
I am alwauys looking for ways to cook plantains. I had always thought you needed to double fry and flatten them but am open to all great ideas.
That is one dreamlike combo!
cheers,
Rosa
GUESS WHAT? I am putting this very appetizer on my thanksgiving menu thanks to you - I was looking for something different while still somewhat the same and this came through like an express train...Thanks Cynthia and I mean that with much love!
Thank you so much, Cynthia! I am thrilled to win your Tea Spot give away and I will enjoy using the Tuffy tea steeper and three flavors of delicious teas!
I am drooling looking at the sweet/ salty /savory combination of ripe plantains wrapped in bacon! What a wonderful holiday treat they will be!
wow, I saw the top photo and thought thrs a scallop recipe coming but banana?? What an original recipe! Love it!
Gorgeous goodness !!
The pictures are great as usual .
Oh my! Do those look good! I could eat those pictures. And they couldn't be easier to make. They would make a great hors d'oeuvre for Thanksgiving. And I also loved your braised turkey idea from last week.
Wow!! these look amazing Cynthia - I cant even imagine the burst of flavours that would ensue by biting into one of these babies!
these look too good!
wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving too!

Goodness, these sound so good. Wonder if using Costa Rica bananas and Swiss bacon would yield a similar result.
I love ripe plantains and I will be making this recipe very soon :)
Totally smart to have bacon around something sweet! Congrats to the winner.
Lovely pictures, Cynthia. First time to this beautiful place, hope to come here more often for these lovely treats. Best wishes.
I did it! But with the usual bananas and I did not achieve burnt spots. Other half liked it very much, too. :) Thank you!
I also tried for the first time caramelised bacon: bacon rashers laid out with a thin layer of brown sugar on top. Start from a cold oven till 170 degrees C. Watch out from the 16th minute, to make sure it's not too brown. Remove from oven, drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt if desired. Heaven! (If you start to feel a sore throat coming on, quickly drink chamomile tea.)
I'm always looking for things to do with plantains, to take them outside the traditional box. This is a supreme idea. Thanks
I'm making this right now...............
