Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove pork and set aside.

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Return the browned pork to the pot. Add chicken broth, allspice, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.

While the pork is stewing, melt butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced plantains and cook until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Once the pork is tender, check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce is too thin, uncover and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken.
