Here's what I made yesterday. An old favorite. Pork loin stuffed with a paste of cilantro, several types of peppers and a spice mix. It's basted with lime juice , brown sugar , and rum. Along with I made sweet rice and peas , spinach , a few poppers , and a salad.
My rice and peas are really rice and small red beans. I call it "sweet" because I use coconut creme in the water , along with green onions, thyme, garlic and peppers as the beans are cooked. After the beans are cooked I drain off the liquid and use it to cook the rice. When the rice is cooked I add the beans mixture back.
Here's what the stuffing mixture looks like. Bad photo .... but it's kind of fugly anyway.
The paste spread on the split lion. edit ... duh loin .....
Tied up and ready to cook. I let this set over night to "season up " the pork.
This is the cooked loin.
