PORK CHOPS WITH BANANAS AND BACON (ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA)

Steps:

• Combine the butter with the cumin, salt and pepper. Rub the pork chops all over with the mixture.
• Now put the pork chops on the grill and cook them over medium heat for about 7 and a half minutes per side.
• Cook the bacon in a frying pan for just a couple of minutes, long enough for some of the fat to render. Remove and let cool.
• Cut the bananas into chunks sprinkle them with lemon juice. Wrap the bacon around each chunk. Skewer each wrapped piece through the overlap in the bacon.
• After the chops have been cooking for about 15 minutes, turn the heat down to medium low and put the bacon and bananas on the grill. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chops aren't cooking too fast.
• Continue to turn the chops and the bacon/banana skewers. At this point you can also start basting the chops with beer.
• When the chops and bacon are thoroughly cooked, remove from the grill and serve.

BANANA CHIP CRUSTED JERK PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Chop the scallions, keeping the whites and greens separate.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until hot. Stir in the scallion whites and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the beans along with any liquid in the can, bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Adjust seasoning if needed.
• Pulse the banana chips in a blender until finely ground. Stir the banana crumbs together with the panko and jerk seasoning. Sprinkle each pork chop with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and then dredge them in the banana crumb coating, pressing so the crumbs adhere.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Then add the pork chops in batches and cook, turning once, until golden and just pink in the center, about 8 minutes total. Wipe out the skillet and cook the remaining pork chops with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the same manner. Let the pork stand 5 minutes.
• Serve the pork with the rice and beans, sprinkled with the reserved scallion greens.
