Method

For the Plantains

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Fry the Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced plantains in a single layer and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the plantains and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.

For the Chili Lime Vinaigrette

  1. 3

    Mix the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

For the Creamed Corn

  1. 4

    Cook the Corn

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh corn kernels and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  2. 5

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in salt and black pepper, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chives.
