It was time for some caribbean meat so I made it. Pork tenderloin stuffed with ground seasoned pork and wrapped in banana leaves. "Why is it caribbean meat" you might wonder, "banana leaves" would be my response. Not an attractive name so I am open to suggestions, usually its called "that meat wrapped in banana leaves" so you see it really has no name.
I butterflied a pork tenderloin, you might remember that I made one of these recently and it was stuffed with fruit and chevre.
This tenderloin was filled with some ground and seasoned pork.
The tenderloin was rolled and tied and rolled and tied again with banana leaves.
Wrapped in foil it was ready to roast till it got to temperature.
Let it rest and enjoy its aroma before slicing and enjoying.
This is on a nice red adobo with some baby carrots and avocado.

How about "Porked" ;-) (I kid)
This looks absolutely amazing...seeing it made me instantly regret eating plain 'ol chicken for dinner. I am going to have to give this double pork recipe a try!
As always...beautiful pics.
That sounds freakin awesome...hummmm You are creative enough...give it another try :)
I made Mole, can you believe that?
Very cool - I've wanted to try and cook with banana leaves, now I've got an idea for it....I'm looking forward to trying this one!
Harmony: I will makesome plain ol' chicken just for you....'porked' that ranks right up there with 'jungle meat'
chef e: it was pretty awesome and I am creative enough (cough, cough) but I want an idea from you :)
hornsfan: I've wrapped ribs, Ive wrapped chicken, it all takes on a great tropical flavor and it holds in the juices...and your package is on its way....
It appears that you have caught on to my post titles...love it!
oh...and Porked / Jungle Meat, it's all good...right?
How about Caribbean Roll......not very inventive I know, but I tried!!
It looks amazing!! Im starting to think your ignoring me?????
Sausage Stuffed Caribbean Lomo en adobo, and that is what I can come up with...
I'd say thats one tempting tropical meat log! Thats what I would call it.. Did you use a thermometer to know when it was ready? The carrots and the acocado made that plate look like a palette of color and taste!
I like 'Jungle Meat'. And if serving a sauce with it in a separate dipping bowl, how about 'Jungle Fever'?
Not to be a downer, but I don't recall ever seeing banana leaves for sale at my local Kroger. Where does one acquire such exotic greenery?
Yummy! Great cooking idea. Beef!
harmony: wavelength, we must be on one...
mandi: I am not...because of your blog status you dont show up in my reader...
chef e: good one
anette: yes, I use a thermometer when I cant see the food
ap: hmmmmmm, let me ponder that
jeanne: do you have an ethnic section, or ethnic neighborhoods you could check?
ms. cupcake: thanks, no its pork tenderloin.
We had our "presentation pants" on today, didn't we? Looked fabulous- deserves a better name!
Looks great! And here we've been eating boring old sandwiches ;)
I love the incorporation of banana leaves. Everything should be cooked in banana leaves!
How about Caribbean braciole or caribbean roulade? No matter what you call it, I want it!
buff: I guess we did...now and then circumstance demand a little more from me...
tavolini: I am telling you it is the most unique flavor around - wrap a bunch of veggies in it - its always a luau
mommy gourmet: now we are getting somewhere with the braciole and roulade...I am thinking 'roulade caribe' or something like that...thanks.
That pork looks delicious, and cooking it in banana leaves must add a wonderful flavor!
Wow, looks really delicious. The aroma from the banana leaves should be amazing!
That's a pretty piece of meat!
How 'bout porked banana? hehe
chocolate shavings: it keeps it very moist - very!
pigpigscorner: like cut grass in the summer only better.
spin: I am glad you like my meat...
Oh that reminds me of my 30th birthday in Clearwater Florida...good times!!!
Oooh, artistic plate arrangement, too! What, are you trying to make us (and by that I mean me) feel bad for just lining the stuff up on a counter and telling people to fill their own damn plates?
just telling: wow that must've been a great party...do tell more..
marjie: well considering I 'threw together' six of these...I dunno...just sayin'
BTW you taught me something blog master...
I could browse on your blog for hours! Thank you for providing creative inspiration as always. Happy New Year! May it be filled with all sorts of delicious goodies.
It is looking fab! I like pork - we have it almost as much as we have chicken, which is a lot. It should keep me busy in the kitchen.
