Started first thing this morning... roasted and peeled 5 yellow wax peppers, browned a 2 pound pork roast with 2 tbsp olive oil in a dutch oven, and caramelized a large white onion cut into 1/4 inch slices in the dutch oven to pick up the brown crusties clinging to the inside of the pot.
cut a ripe plantain into 1/2 inch pieces, stirred 2 tbsp brown sugar into 3/4 cup of water. Lined the dutch oven with banana leaves, put in the pork, rajas, caramelized onions and plantain, and poured the brown sugar and water over all, tucked in the ends of the leaves, covered the dutch oven with foil as tightly as possible and put into a preheated 325 degree oven until fork tender... 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
While the pork is in the oven, I'm also roasting a pumpkin for the puree to make spicy corn and pumpkin soup. Next up will be homemade masa tortillas and garlic-y greens...

Nice hair you got goin' there, sic! You know, no one can poo-poo "simple" things. I love coconut shrimp with marmalade but have never made them myself. You never get them out with heat added, but every time I get them (which isn't often) I think "this needs some heat." Cool entry!
Posty that dipping sauce too...
Yeah that's the money shot!!!
