Method

Put pork into a wide, shallow dish.

Pour hot sauce on pork, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for 6 hours.

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add celery and onions and cook for 1 minute.

Add corn and peppers and cook for 4 minutes.

Remove from heat, add lime juice, chile flakes, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom and toss to combine. Set relish aside.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat.

Brown pork on all sides and baste with remaining marinade.

Place in oven and roast for 30 minutes, or until just cooked through.

Meanwhile, when pork has been in the oven for 20 minutes, heat canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat.

Add plantains and cook until deep golden brown on both sides; drain on a wire rack and pat gently with a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Arrange on a platter.

Let pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve on top of the plantains.

Add mint to pepper relish, then spoon onto pork and serve.
