Heat the oil in a Dutch oven casserole and sauté the onions until almost soft.

Add the garlic and cook until onions are soft. Add the pork, a few pieces at a time, and brown (char a little).

Add the tomatoes, saffron, salt (if needed), black pepper, chile, cinnamon, cloves, and broth and optional annato.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40 to 50 mins.

Add the potatoes and continue to cook until the potatoes are done, about 30 minutes.

Add the bananas before the potatoes are done but the bananas need about 10 minutes at most.

Make a well and tilt the pan so that the liquids pool.

Pour the sauce ingredients gently combine; simmer until heated through, taking care that the "cream" does not boil.

Serve immediately with warmed tortillas and mixed salad greens, undressed or a little lemon-lime juice.

Girl you don't know

wow!!!!!!! They use a VERY expencive spice (saffron) where ever you live you better have A LOT of money to buy that but that is not the only spice there is basil try that this time

John

Wow, yes saffron is the most expensive spice in the world however this recipe only seems to use about $1's worth. Can't imagine replacing saffron with basil!?? totally different flavor and certainly a totally different color. I think the Girl's nuts

Saffron is from CROCUS FLOWER,grown Asia, Europe, USA. World's most expensive spice and is bitter. SAFFLOWER PLANT gives oil, and inexpensive saffron.Mexico major producer of this good, low cost, NOT bitter food coloring found grocery,Mexi section.
