Roasted Sweet Plantain With Poblano Guava Sauce

1. 1

   Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

   Cut of the ends (tips) of the plantain, insert the tip of a paring knife and run it from top to bottom about 1/2 inch in.

3. 3

   Wrap the plantains in foil.

4. 4

   Place in oven for 20 minutes.

   Wash poblano pepper, rub a little bit of oil on the outside and place on flame or in oven if you have an electric top until the outside is charred.

6. 6

   Once the pepper is done, place in a bowl and cover so steam can loosen the skin, then run under cold water to remove the char and dice.

   In a small saucepan add stock, shallots, garlic, poblano pepper, guava and bring up to a rolling simmer.

8. 8

   Cook until the paste is smooth.

9. 9

   At this point add rice vinegar, salt and pepper and whisk well to make sure you do not have any lumps in the sauce.

10. 10

    Turn to low temperature for two minutes.

11. 11
