    Directions

    1. Many years ago, restaurant dining meant fruit with every- thing. Now fruit is desperately passe. But it's a mistake to throw out the authentic with the spurious. This surprising but satisfying combination of ingredients originates in South America.
    2. In a large saucepan, heat 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil and brown on all sides 1 kg cubed boneless pork. Add in 2 large onions, minced, and 2 cloves of garlic, chopped, and brown them. Add in 3 large tomatoes, diced, 100 mL boiling water and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook very slowly for about 1 1/2 hour. Meanwhile simmer 1 1/2 c. brown lentils in 4 c. water for 45 min; don't drain.
    3. Add in the undrained lentils to the pork mix, combine well, cover and cook over a low heat for a further 30 min, till both the pork and the lentils are tender.
    4. Taste for seasoning. Add in 4 large hard bananas cut into 2 cm pcs and 3 Tbsp. or possibly more of minced, fresh coriander. Cook 10 min longer.
    5. Serve with a little more coriander scat- tered on top. (You can use the coriander stems as well as the leaves, provided they are well washed.
    6. Finely minced they add in interesting crunch.)
