Well this is my simple meal plan for today...Roast pork shoulder which has been marinating since last night - It's now in the oven... and for the first time, I've wrapped the roast in banana leaves!
Also, I found Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes in my local supermarket, and in this photo, the potatoes have been rinsed, dried, and tossed with olive oil, oregano, salt, fresh-ground black pepper, and some Mrs. Dash. They're ready to go into the oven as well. Later on, I'll be making some Asparagus with a lemon sauce!
1:25PM...
Potatoes are done! Nice and brown on the outside, soft and creamy inside!
Meanwhile, I'm washing and trimming the asparagus, which will be poached, then dressed with a simple Lemon/Olive-Oil emulsion!
Taking a peek at the banana-leaf-wrapped pork roast, still in the oven!
2:20PM...
Everything came together swimmingly! The pork came out so soft, it was falling apart! Thanks Banana Leaves!
Merry Christmas and Happy Eating!
