Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized chunks and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red and green bell peppers. Add them to the same pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the browned pork back to the pot.
Season the stew with dried oregano, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and slice the carrots into thick coins. Add them to the pot.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Check that the pork is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
