👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Season pork or chicken with salt and pepper.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.
3
Add chopped onion and bell peppers to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5
Return the meat to the pot. Add diced tomatoes (undrained), chicken or vegetable broth, thyme, and allspice berries. Bring to a boil.
6
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally.
7
While the stew simmers, prepare the Johnny Cake: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
8
In a separate bowl, combine milk and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
9
Pour the Johnny Cake batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10
Remove allspice berries from the stew before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
11
Serve the hot stew with slices of freshly baked Johnny Cake.
