Palmito Assado (Baked Hearts of Palm - Brazilian)

 
Palmito Assado 
original recipe from Brazilian-food.com


Ingredients:
- 2 sticks margarine
- 2 large hearts of palm (fresh should weigh around 1.5 pounds)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup mild honey (optional – but I highly recommend it!)


Directions:
1.  Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
2.  If you can use dairy butter clarify it and use only the ghee.
3.  Use a knife to cut through the first layer surrounding the heart of palm (cut lengthwise).
4.  The second layer of the heart of palm is a little hard, but do  not remove that layer.
5.  Put the heart of palm on a double thick layer of aluminum foil and brush butter on top of the heart of palm.
6.  Wrap the heart of palm in the aluminum foil and put it into a large pan.
7.  Bake for about 1.5 hours or until it is a soft.
8.  Serve right away with salt, pepper and / or honey!
