Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons minced garlic
- ½ cup vinegar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1.5lb pork ((I used pork shoulder))
- 2-4 plantains sliced diagonally in big chunks
- 1½ cup carrots
- oil
Directions
| 1. | Cover the bottom of a frying pan with oil and heat it up |
| 2. | Quickly saute the plantains, until they’re brown, then set them aside; they do not need to cook through |
| 3. | Put in in the garlic and saute until brown |
| 4. | Add the pork cut in cubes and toss until brown |
| 5. | Add the soy sauce and water and cook until the pork is tender |
| 6. | Add the vinegar and bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 min |
| 7. | Put in the brown sugar and the carrots, and cook for about 15 more min |
| 8. | Toss in the plantains until they are cooked through |
| 9. | Serve with white rice |
Note
There are many versions of this dish. You can also add bread cubes in at the same time as the plantains, which I did, for a more hearty dish.
