Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the Coconut Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

2. 2

   Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.

3. 3

   Stir in the garlic plus the allspice, scotch bonnet pepper and dried thyme; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

4. 4

   Add the plantain, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

5. 5

   Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the plantain is tender.

6. 6

   Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh thyme and a squeeze of lime.
