Cover the pan and let it cook for 1 to 1 ½ hour or until the pork is tender. • When the pork is tender, turn the heat off and separate the meat from the broth. Reserve the broth. Cut the pork into cubes. • For the hardinera mixture, heat some oil in a pan. Sauté the onion and garlic for a minute. Add ½ cup banana, 1 tablespoon tomato paste and sauté until well-combined. • Add the cubed pork and gently toss until well-coated with the sauce. Add a cup of the reserved broth. Stir gently until the meat is submerged. • Add the pineapple tidbits, raisins, luncheon meat and grated cheese. Stir gently until well-combined. Season with salt. Continue cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed. • Add 2 chopped bell peppers and toss. Turn the fire off. • Prepare the banana leaves and quickly pass through the flame to become soft and pliable. Cut the banana leaves into oval (llanera) shape. Layer your llaneras with banana leaves and brush them with softened butter. • Arrange a half of hard-boiled egg and the bell pepper strips to each container. Crack and beat an egg into a small bowl. Pour half of the beaten egg to the llanera. Fill the rest of the llanera with the hardinera mixture. Pour the remaining half of the beaten egg at the top of the llanera. Cover the llaneras using aluminum foil. Repeat these steps with the rest of the llaneras. • Arrange the hardinera in a steamer. Steam for 40 minutes up to 1 hour. • Remove the hardinera from the steamer and let it cool a bit. Refrigerate the hardinera until cool. • Remove the aluminum foil and flip the hardinera into a plate. Remove the banana leaves before serving. Drizzle with some ketchup and enjoy with hot steaming rice!
