Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 500 grams ground pork
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onions to the skillet, sautéing them until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook and stir regularly until the pork is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a wooden spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, stirring for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the tomato paste, sugar-free tomato sauce, soy sauce, and the bay leaf. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with sea salt and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the sauce reduces slightly and the flavors meld together.
Remove the bay leaf, then sprinkle the chopped scallions and grated Parmesan cheese over the dish just before serving.
Serve the Keto Pork Giniling warm and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb meal.
