1/2  teaspoon  ground cumin
1/2  teaspoon  ground allspice
1/2  teaspoon  cinnamon
1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt
1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
2  very ripe (black-spotted) plantains or firm-ripe bananas, peeled and cut in half lengthwise and again crosswise

 Ingredient:

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 onions, coarsely chopped
4 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 green bell peppers, coarsely chopped
3 potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and quartered
6 carrots, cut coarsely on the diagonal
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 3-pound chicken with a split lemon stuffed into its cavity
1 1/2 liters Red Stripe
Salt

Preparation:

In a deep pot, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, green peppers, potatoes, carrots, bay leaves and oregano. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the entire chicken, turning it to brown on all sides.

Pour the beer into the pot; it should almost cover the chicken. Mix well, and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low.

Intermittently stir and add more beer, if needed, to keep the chicken bathed. Add salt and cook until well-done, about 45 minutes. Serve with the vegetables, with the broth poured over the chicken.
