Caribbean Creamy Pork Curry 🏝️ Now this is completely different to most of my Caribbean dishes, not a fresh chilli in sight for starters. Greek yogurt & coconut cream create a delicate sauce. I always have a Caribbean spice mix in my cupboard it's so easy to make a spice paste with & the perfect blend of spices for this dish. I know you'll Love it! I'd usually serve this with baked potatoes & salad but rice is a perfect partner too. I love the way the spices work with the yogurt & coconut cream to create a creamy sauce that is full of flavour. The pork is tender and juicy, and the peppers add a nice crunch to the dish. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Enjoy! :¬)

method

So our first task is to get the paste done once your limes are juiced, garlic & ginger are crushed you can set all 7 ingredients into a plastic container. Add your diced pork & set into the fridge preferably overnight. Now this is an easy dish to cook once you have got your paste ready and meat marinated. Just slice your onions while the pan heats & slice your peppers while the dish simmers. I cooked this in my dutch oven on the hob but any heavy based pan will be fine.
