🛒 Ingredients

4 servings
  • 500g diced pork
  • 2 medium onions
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

  2. Step 2: In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Cook over low heat until the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the cumin and smoked paprika, and cook for 1 minute.

  3. Step 3: Add the pork back to the pot, along with enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

  4. Step 4: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, accompanied by rice or beans.

💡 Chef's tip

To make the meat tender, it's essential to cook it over low heat for an extended period. It's also crucial not to overcook the sauce, so it doesn't become too thick.
