Pork Chops With Bananas and Bacon (Antigua and Barbuda) image

This recipe is from week eleven of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Antigua and Barbuda is my eleventh stop. You might think bacon and banana sounds like a strange combination, but it works surprisingly well. This recipe comes together pretty quickly and can be cooked on an indoor grill or on the barbecue.

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pork chops
3/4 tablespoon cumin
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 bananas
6 slices bacon
beer (optional)

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.
