1/2 tsp "curry"
1 yellow plantain

Julienne the churrasco meat (like for fajitas). Saut in olive oil. Add the vegetables, sliced almonds, and raisins. In another skillet fry the ripe plantain in small cubes, add curry. Saut in olive oil and when ready, add to the meat mixture. Saute a little bit more and add rum on top and flambe to give flavor. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with cilantro.

This is an easy dish perfect to prepare in an outside wok or even in the George Foreman Outside Grill. Omit the flambee if you are using the George Foreman Grill.
