Even before I got to adding the protein to it, it smelt amazing. Cooking the onions in the rendered bacon fat and then adding in the garlic and spice mix to fragrance was divine. My house smelt amazing.
The dish while imposing at fire with all the prep you'd want to have done will come together very quickly once you start. I used some thick cut hickory bacon to add a little flavor but the cloves, all spice, chili powder, etc... really carried the flavor here. The cloves did feel a bit over power in the scent and taste department so I think I'll reduce that or double everything else next time and see the results.
I give this a 10/10 on the delicious scale because everyone in the house loved it.
