Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 3 oz / 85g Pork belly or Bacon (sliced)
- 17 oz / 500g Pork (diced ¾" / 2cm)
- 2 Onion (medium (sliced))
- 2 cloves Garlic (diced or crushed)
- 5 piece Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
- 1 Tomato
- ½ teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Instruction
- Saute the pork belly or bacon stripes until it yields the fat out for about 2-5 minutes then take them out.
- Add the diced pork into the hot fat.
- Saute until all sides turns golden brown. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes
- Add the onion, garlic and black pepper. For a more characteristic flavor ground black pepper can be used.
- Stir and saute the onion until it gets a glassy / translucent look for about 2 - 5 minutes.
- Add water until the ingredients are half immersed then add tomato and the optional paprika.
- Place the lid on then cook it ready on low heat for about 40 to 60 minutes.
- Check the water every now and then and refill if necessary otherwise the dish could burn down. It doesn't need too much as that would produce a flavorless sauce and soak the potatoes as well.
- After 40 minutes of cooking check the meat for tenderness and start reducing the excess water if necessary by taking the lid off and increasing the heat under the pan.
- Add the bacon back on and mix it well.
