Very flavorful! I did decrease the amount of cloves because it is not one of my favorite flavors, and sprinkled a little salt on them when the came out of the pan. Made for Best of 2012 Cookbook Tag. -
Deeeeeelicious! We made these yesterday for Mother's Day and to serve 5 people we doubled the spices and used 5 plantains (they were fairly small). The only addition was some salt after they were browned, to bring out the sweetness. These were so good - even with all the other food we had, there was only about 1/2 plantain left. Thanks for sharing!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
