Spicy Velvet Elvis Sandwich

Put the grilling baste ingredients (2 teaspoons butter, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chiles) into a small saucepan and melt/stir to combine.

Do not peel the plantains. Cut them in half lengthwise, and into pieces of appropriate size for your bread. Brush with basting solution.

Grill the plantains skin-side down for 7 minutes, then flip them and grill 3 minutes more. I didn't get a usable picture of the grilling process, but here's what they look like after:

Mix the peanut butter and chile-garlic sauce to taste. Add a bit of salt, and if necessary some peanut oil to make it more spreadable.

Okay, time to assemble! Start by slicing the peanut butter bread. Optional: remove the crusts like Mom used to do.

Spread some spicy peanut butter on each piece of bread.

You know how to put together a sandwich. Slice the plantains in half if they seem too thick. Butter the outside portions of the bread for pan-toasting.

Buttered:

Toast in the pan until GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious).
