Time 3h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ½ lb pork spareribs, trimmed and separated
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 green plantain, peeled and shredded
4 oz water, plus more as needed
1 cured pork tail
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium green papaya, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium ripe papaya, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces, seeds reserved
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
1 mango, cubed
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground tumeric
2 cups coconut water
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut flake, for garnish
1 coconut shell, optional

Steps:

  • Make the sofrito: Add the cilantro, green bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and olive oil to a food processor. Process until the mixture is fully combined, chunky, and uniform in color.
  • Make the stobá: In a large bowl, pour the sofrito over the spare ribs, tossing to coat well. Marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  • Place the shredded plantain in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, spread the plantain evenly into a thin round, 6-8 inches wide.
  • Bake the plantain round for 15 minutes. Remove the plantain round from the oven. Let cool slightly, then lift the plantain on the parchment paper and invert into a medium bowl. Place another medium bowl inside to set the shape of the plantain bowl. Let cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the water and cured pork tail and simmer for 15-20 minutes to draw the salt out of the pork tail. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
  • Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the pork tail and cooking water, marinated spare ribs, and the salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 90 minutes until the meat is tender, adding more water if it evaporates too quickly.
  • Add the green papaya, ripe papaya, mango, sweet potato, nutmeg, turmeric and coconut water to the stew. Cover and cook for another 45 minutes, until the meat is tender and the fruit is cooked through.
  • While the stew cooks, spread the reserved papaya seeds on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly toasted and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  • Place the plantain bowl inside a coconut shell or medium bowl. Ladle the stew into the plantain bowl. Garnish with the toasted papaya seeds and shredded coconut.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork is tender, marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help break down the tough fibers and make the meat more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, broccoli, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch. This will help them retain their nutrients and flavor.
  • Use a high-quality cooking oil, such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil. These oils have a high smoke point, which means they can be heated to a high temperature without burning.
  • Stir-fry the ingredients over high heat. This will help to quickly cook the vegetables and meat and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Stir-crazy pork and papaya is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a stir-fry that is both healthy and delicious.
