POSTED FOR ZWT5. 5 stars on http://www.bbcgoodfood.com. You may encounter this on a number of Islands in the Caribbean one of which would be Grenada where they are known for their spice and would garnish this with cinnamon for a delicious dish.

SERVES 6 , 6 servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 ripe plantains, the skins must be black
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons demerara sugar (brown sugar crystals)
8 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
salt & pepper (optional)
cinnamon (to garnish)

Directions

1
Peel the plantains and cut them crossways into slices 2.5cm thick.
2
Lay each plantain on a large sheet of foil, keeping the slices together so they stay in their original shape.
3
Smear each plaintain with the butter (or dot it over if it's hard) and sprinkle with the sugar.
4
Make a gondola shape round each plantain with the foil, then pour over the orange juice and grind salt and pepper on top if using.
5
Wrap the foil completely round the plantains so they're securely sealed inside. (You can prepare to this stage up to 24 hours ahead.).
6
Put the foil parcels on the barbecue rack and cook for 30 minutes until the plantains are softened (to check if they're ready, open a parcel and test with the point of a knife).
7
Sprikle with salt, pepper and cinnamon.
