I want to make this recipe but only four ingredients are listed: 4 ripe plantains, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 4 slices of mozzarella cheese optional, Fresh cilantro. I see other ingredients in the directions without amounts. I thought if I clicked to print the recipe they might show up but didn't. Something strange has happened! Hope you can fix it!

I always fry the plantains. Decided to follow this recipe. Everything fine and then the plaintains. Rock solid. Plantain should be soft and sweet.
