Recipe Introduction
Norm says: This flavourful pork preparation is, in some ways, the ancient Indian's jerk Pork after the Spanish added their special touches.
The tomatoes are a new touch, as is the notion of a sauce to spoon over the meat.

3 garlic cloves, slivered
4 Scotch Bonnet or jalapeno chillies, chopped
