Fonio Bowl with Jerk Pork, Roasted Plantains, and Cilantro Lime Dressing

Ingredients

• •2 cups fonio grain
• •1.5 lbs pork shoulder, cubed
• •3 tablespoons jerk seasoning
• •2 medium plantains, peeled and sliced
• •3 tablespoons olive oil
• •1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• •3 limes, juiced
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1/4 cup water
• •1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1Cook fonio according to package directions, typically 15-20 minutes, then set aside.
2. 2Toss pork cubes with jerk seasoning and let marinate for 10 minutes while oven preheats to 425°F.
3. 3Toss plantain slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized.
4. 4Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook marinated pork for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.
5. 5Blend cilantro, lime juice, garlic, water, and salt to make the dressing.
6. 6Assemble bowls with fonio as base, top with jerk pork and roasted plantains, then drizzle with cilantro lime dressing.

💡 Roast plantains separately from jerk pork if their ripeness differs; ripe plantains caramelize much faster than pork shoulder becomes tender.
