- 200 ml Tomato sauce
- 200 g Potatoes
- 100 g Carrots

👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Heat cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). Add the cubed pork and brown it on all sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove pork from the pot and set aside.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 2
In the same pot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 3
Add the cubed pork liver to the pot and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it changes color and is lightly browned. This helps to firm up the liver and reduce its gamey flavor.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Pour in the tomato sauce and soy sauce. Stir well to combine with the aromatics and liver. Bring to a simmer.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add the water or pork broth. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 45 minutes, or until the pork is tender. Stir occasionally.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 6
Add the cubed potatoes and carrots to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. The stew should have thickened slightly.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 7
Stir in the chopped bell pepper and optional green peas. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bell pepper is slightly tender-crisp and the peas are heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 8
Serve hot, typically with steamed white rice.
