👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Pat the pork cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensures better browning.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove pork and set aside.
3
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add chicken broth, allspice, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
7
While the pork is stewing, melt butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced plantains and cook until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
8
Once the pork is tender, check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce is too thin, uncover and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken.
9
Serve the stewed pork with the caramelized plantains. It's often accompanied by rice and beans or a simple salad.
