  • 1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash of hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)

  1. Combine first 8 ingredients in 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Add pork loins, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pepper, onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender and golden, about 7 minutes. Add beans and broth. Simmer until slightly thickened, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add pork and sauté until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer to heavy large baking sheet with rim.
  4. Roast pork 10 minutes. Arrange plantain slices around pork on baking sheet. Bake until thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 160°F and plantains are tender, brushing plantains occasionally with pan juices, about 20 minutes.
  5. Arrange plantains in center of platter. Cut pork into 1-inch-thick slices. Arrange pork around plantains. Rewarm sauce. Stir in cilantro. Spoon sauce around edge of platter and serve.
