Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds pork, cut into medium cubes
1 1/2 cups lime juice
1 small Scotch bonnet or habanero chile pepper
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup orange juice
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for serving
1/4 cup chopped scallions
4 cloves garlic
3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus extra leaves for serving
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1/2 onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 cloves
Canola oil, for frying and drizzling
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the pork with 1/2 cup of the lime juice and then drain the juices and reserve the pork.
  • Quarter the Scotch bonnet and remove the seeds and membranes, preferably while wearing gloves (these chiles are extremely hot). Finely chop one quarter; leave the others whole. Transfer all of the Scotch bonnet to a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid.
  • Add the celery, orange juice, lemon juice, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, vinegar, parsley, scallions, garlic, thyme, bouillon, onion, remaining 1 cup lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into the Dutch oven with the Scotch bonnet. Stir in the cloves. Mix in the pork. Cover the pot and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Remove the pot from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Place the pot over high heat and add 8 cups water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender and the liquid has been reduced by a third, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Remove the meat gently with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
  • In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat enough oil to cover the pork to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, pat the pork dry and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • To serve, drizzle the pork with oil and sprinkle with parsley and thyme leaves. Serve on a bed of rice.

This recipe was just okay. The pork was a bit dry and the skin was not as crispy as I would have liked. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what all the positive reviews are about. This recipe was a major disappointment. The pork was tough and the skin was soggy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a joke. The measurements are all wrong and the instructions are unclear. I wasted my time and money on this recipe.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The pork was dry and tough, and the skin was not crispy at all. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
