For the crockpot pork
1-2lb pork loin
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 cups beef broth (no sugar added) – add 3 cups if you go with a 2lb pork loin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper, to taste
For the plantain mash
4 brown plantains, peeled, sliced in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
3-4 tablespoons canned coconut milk
- Add all your pork ingredients to a crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Once your pork is done cooking, use two forks and shed it to pieces.
- Now place a large skillet under medium heat, add your coconut oil and once your pan is nice and hot, add your sliced plantains into the oil.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt.
- Cook on both sides for 4-5 minutes or until soft.
- Add your plantains to your food processor and puree. While the food processor is still running, pour in your coconut milk until you get a smooth plantain puree.
- Add a dollop of plantain mash to your plate, top with pork, and add a little avocado.
