🛒 Ingredients

4 servings
  • 500g pork in cubes
  • 2 medium onions
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 4-5 yellow peppers
  • to taste salt and black pepper

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, mix the pork cubes with salt, pepper, and chopped onions and garlic. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  2. Step 2: Place the marinated pork in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, blend the yellow peppers with a little water to make the sauce. After 30 minutes, pour the yellow pepper sauce over the pork and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked and the sauce is caramelized.

💡 Chef's tip

To intensify the flavor, sear the pork at 220°C for the first 5 minutes of cooking. This will activate the Maillard reaction, forming a crispy and golden crust that enhances the flavors of the meat and sauce.
