Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 250 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the pork cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add them to the pot and brown the meat on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, paprika, dried oregano, and remaining salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Return the browned pork cubes to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and let it cook for 20-25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
