Preparing the Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Prepare the Candied Bananas

    In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced ripe bananas and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    Mix the Peanut Butter

    In a bowl, stir the peanut butter until smooth and creamy. You can add a pinch of salt if desired.
