Ingredients

* 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2 inch cubes

* 4 cloves garlic, minced

* 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

* 1/3 cup sugar

* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice

* 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 1 large onion, chopped

* 2 tablespoons good quality curry powder, preferably Colombo curry powder (recipe below)

* 5 cups chicken stock

* 5 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds

* 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks

* 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces

* 2 bay leaves

* 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried

Directions

Combine the pork, lime juice and garlic in a bowl and let marinate for an hour.

Mix the sugar, allspice and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Remove the pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off and mix it with the sugar and spice mixture.

Heat the oil in a big, heavy pot over medium-high heat. In small batches, brown the pork then remove it to a bowl.

Add the onions to the pot and cook until soft, stirring often to make sure they don't stick, about 10 minutes. If the onions begin to stick, add a couple of tablespoons of chicken stock.

Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Put the pork and any juices in the bottom of the bowl back in the pot along with the carrots, green pepper, sweet potato, bay leaves, thyme and chicken stock.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat so the liquid is simmering, partially cover and cook for 30 minutes.

Uncover, raise the heat to medium and simmer another 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the pork is really tender.

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, if using fresh thyme.

Serve with lots of cooked white rice.

Serves 6-8
