Habanero-Banana Chili

Steps

• 1

  Chop up the pork into small half inch cubes. Chop the onions and mince the habanero and garlic. Be sure to remove all the seeds and insides from the habaneros so the chili is flavorful but not scorching hot.
• 2

  Sear the pork in a very hot pot with some oil on all sides. Remove from pot and add the onions. Cook 15 minutes until lightly browned, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pot often. Add the garlic and habaneros and cook 2 minutes. Add the spices and cook one more minute.
• 3

  Dump in the tomatoes and return the pork to the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours.

  At the 2 hour mark, toss your bananas into a food processor and puree until smooth. Add your banana puree to the chili pot and cook another 15 minutes or so. Serve and garnish with cheese and scallions.
