Make
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil and then pork to heated oil. Saute pork for ~3 minutes, until fragrant and slightly seared on the outside.
- Add green onions, onions, ginger, jalapenos, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and rest of the spice mix to the pot and saute for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Next add stock and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then simmer over low heat (covered) for 15 to 18 minutes until pork and sweet potatoes are tender.
- While curry is cooking, blend pineapple, banana, coconut water, spinach, and lime juice in a blender until smooth. If you prefer your smoothies to be on the sweeter side, please feel free to sweeten with your preferred sweetener.
- Serve curry over cauliflower rice with lime wedges. Enjoy with smoothies to cut the heat!
