Many years ago, restaurant dining meant fruit with every- thing. Now
fruit is desperately passe. But it's a mistake to throw out the
authentic with the spurious. This surprising but satisfying
combination of ingredients originates in South America.  In a large
saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and brown on all  sides 1 kg
cubed boneless pork. Add 2 large onions, chopped, and 2  cloves of
garlic, minced, and brown them. Add 3 large tomatoes,  diced, 100 mL
boiling water and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and  cook very slowly
for about 1 1/2 hour. Meanwhile simmer 1 1/2 cups  brown lentils in 4
cups water for 45 minutes; do not drain.  Add the undrained lentils to
the pork mixture, combine well, cover  and cook over a low heat for a
further 30 minutes, until both the  pork and the lentils are tender.
Taste for seasoning. Add 4 large firm bananas cut into 2 cm pieces  and
3 tablespoons or more of chopped, fresh coriander. Cook 10  minutes
longer. Serve with a little more coriander scat- tered on  top. (You
can use the coriander stems as well as the leaves, provided  they are
well washed. Finely chopped they add interesting crunch.)  Posted by
