Use plátanos manzanos—a short, fat, and incredibly sweet plantain variety—if you can find them. When pan-fried, the outside caramelizes and forms a hard shell while the inside becomes soft and custardy (like crème brûlée!). Look for them in Latin and Caribbean supermarkets or in the tropical fruit section of large supermarkets.

Back to TopMay I pose a question to the chef? I live in central Mexico. I have access to platanos machos or platanos tabascos. Do you think these varieties would “perform” for this recipe? Gracias.
