The inspiration for this recipe came to me on a recent trip to Puerto Rico. I was staying at a small bed and breakfast, and each morning I was treated to a delicious breakfast of sausage and plantains. The sausage was always crispy and well-seasoned, and the plantains were sweet and caramelized. I loved the combination of flavors and textures, and I knew I had to recreate it at home.
