    Directions

    1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven casserole and saute/fry the onions till almost soft. Add in the garlic and cook till onions are soft. Add in. Add in the pork, afew pcs at a time, and brown (char a little). Add in the tomatoes, saffron,salt (if needed), black pepper, chile, cinnamon, cloves, and broth and optional annatto. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40to 50 mins.
    2. Add in the potatoes and continue to cook till the potatoes are done, about 30minutes. Add in the bananas*before* the potatoes are done but the bananas need about 10 mins at most. Make a well and tilt the pan so which the liquids pool. Pour the sauce ingredients gently combine; simmer till heated through, taking care which the "cream" does not boil. Serve immediately with warmed tortillas and mixed salad greens, undressed or possibly a little lemon-lime juice.
    3. tested 4/23/97. Heat Scale: Medium. Sweet-heat. Serve to guests with a salad and a slaw; chilled fruit and a little corn pudding.
    4. With boneless pork top loin: 413 cals, 8.4 g fat, 17.3% CFF With boneless pork center rib: 486 cals, 14.5 g fat, 25.7% CFF With boneless country style ribs: 500 cals, 17g fat 29.4% CFF
    5. NOTES : This sauce idea worked! It was good. We CAN have pork, once in a while.
    6. Warning: a little heavy when you're used to low-fat recipes. This stew wassweet and spicy. I think guests would enjoy this.
