2 large very ripe plantains, peeled and cut into 4 chunks each one.
½ cup light brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
½ tablespoon butter
Directions
1. In a small pot place all the ingredients, cover and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with white cheese.

Hi, I have a question. I am in Bogota, but I can only find azucar morena, not light brown sugar as I would be able to find in the US. Can I use azucar morena for this recipe? Thank you in advance.
