B: Jay Solomon, THE GLOBAL VEGETARIAN

Preheat oven to 400F. Cut off the tips of the plantains. Place the
plantains, skin and on, on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes,
until the skin is charred and puffy.

Take the plantains out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice
the plantains down the center lengthwise and peel back the skin. Cut the
plantains in half widthwise, sprinkle with nutmeg and transfer to serving
plates.

TIP: To ripen green plantains, set them out at room temperature for 5 to 7
days. Storing them in a paper bag will speed up the process. Do not
refrigerate.
