This was just delicious! Used 2 bananas, +1# country ribs, and 4 cups diced tomatoes because that was what I had! I also didn't have onion that day, so I used onion powder and added cumin. My whole family loved it.

I followed this recipe, except i added three mild chili peppers, an extra can of tomatoes,and some cumin. The flavors together are a good combination, but my husband and I both found it way too sweet with so much banana. I will make this again, with a little extra tweaking. I will maybe use only half of one banana instead of a pound. It also needs a little spice so I will still use some chili peppers, or maybe a tiny bit of chili sauce or paste. Its a good starter recipe though and seems to be pretty versatile.

Simple but tasty recipe. I added mushrooms and considered adding black beans. I served it over rice.

I loved this!My favorite flavor is banana, my favortie veggies are tomatoes, and I love to cook with onion, so I had to try this and I loved it...I used cajun seasoning instead of cayenne, also I dredged the pork in flour and cumin before browning....SOoooo tasty could not get enough!

Although this is the first time I made this recipe, I used the reviewers' suggestions and used 3 cans of Rotel tomatoes with chilis, added cumin, and cut the pork into tiny pieces. I thought it was good, and my husband really liked it, but we both still thought it was missing something. I liked it paired with egg noodles, and I might make it again. But first, I'd like to figure out what it's missing.

My guy and my friend were going on about Cuba having the best pork. I've never been, so did a search for "Cuban pork" and decided to try this out. The combination intrigued me and sounded pretty off the wall! I used pork chops rather than a roast, and added cumin as someone here suggested. We all liked it-a lot! My friend is a Chef and it even passed her taste test. Thank you for posting this!

I was alittle scared when I saw bananas and tomatoes in the same dish, but what a GREAT combination of ingredients. On my first attempt I used plantains as others suggested,as well as rotel tomatoes, cumin and chili powder. I served it over Brazilian Rice (from this website).The dish was delicious, but found the plaintains to be bland. I used bananas the second time I made it and the flavor was very nice. I also cooked the pork first, removed it before cooking the rest of the ingredients and put it back in to cook a little more before serving. I found the pork to be too dry when you leave it in the whole time (first attempt). All in all great recipe! Next time I make it I might try pineapple in place of banana....a little sweet with a little heat!

My husband and I felt it was to sweet with the bananas. So next time I think I will use less or leave them out. I served it with the egg noodles and it was pretty good, other then the sweetness.
