Pork and Plantain Chili

Pork & Plantain Chili
Serves 4

1+ pound pork cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, finely diced
1 very ripe plantain, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon oregano
2 chiles, minced
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups chicken broth
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
1 15-ounce can refried black beans
Juice of 1 lime
Cilantro
Brown the pork and then set aside.

Add everything down to the OJ and cook for about five minutes. Add the
orange juice, increase the heat to high, and cook for a minute to reduce
the amount of liquid.

Stir in broth and black beans and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and
simmer for about 10 minutes and stir it a bit occasionally. Add the chili
and refried beans as well as the pork and its juices back to the pot.
Increase the heat a bit from here and cook for about two minutes, or
until refried beans have blended in. Finish with lime and cilantro.
