Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
Add the cubed pork roast and brown on all sides until nicely caramelized. This step is crucial for developing rich flavors. (8-10 minutes)
03
Step
Stir in the diced onions and cook until softened and translucent, allowing their sweetness to meld with the browned pork. (5-7 minutes)
04
Step
Gently fold in the diced bananas and canned diced tomatoes with their juice. (2 minutes)
05
Step
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the pork is exceptionally tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. (30 minutes)
06
Step
Season generously with cayenne pepper, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding a pinch more cayenne for an extra kick if desired. (1 minute)
07
Step
Serve hot over fluffy rice or egg noodles.
For a richer flavor, consider using smoked paprika instead of cayenne pepper.
Ensure the bananas are ripe but still firm to hold their shape during cooking.
Feel free to add a splash of dry sherry or white wine during the simmering process for an extra layer of complexity.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness before serving.
