  sauce.  Stir well and simmer for 20 minutes.
  
  VEGETABLES: Peel the plantain, and slice and fry in
  hot oil until brownish on both sides.  Drain on paper
  towels.  Put the butter (or margarine) into a pan, on
  a moderate heat, saute the carrots, beans and onions
  for 15 minutes, then serve the vegetables onto plates
  with the plantains, pour the sauce over the vegetables
  and garnish with green onions.
