Puerco Sabrosas (Savory Pork)
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Equipment
- Dutch Oven
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1250 grams pork shoulder, cut into ½" strips, (1½ lb)
- salt and pepper, as desired
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 green chili peppers, seeded and minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 can whole tomatoes, crushed, (14 oz / 411 g)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- beer, as needed
- hot cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F).
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven, or heavy oven safe pot, on medium high heat. Add the pork slices and stir for 5-6 minutes or until browned on both sides. Season with salt and black pepper as desired.
- Then add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, and chili pepper. Cook for a few minutes to soften the onion and bell pepper.
- Then add the tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, and cumin. Stir to mix together. Cover and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove cover, stir, and stir in beer to keep the mixture moistened. Cover and bake for another 1½ hours or until pork is tender.
- Serve over rice, enjoy.
