👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Pat the pork chunks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
2
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chunks on all sides until well-browned. Remove the pork and set aside.
3
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the cumin, coriander, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
5
Return the pork to the pot. Add the chancaca, broth, vinegar, and bay leaf. Stir to combine, ensuring the chancaca begins to dissolve.
6
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily pulls apart.
7
About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, remove the lid to allow the sauce to thicken. If it's still too thin, you can remove the pork and reduce the sauce further on the stovetop.
8
Remove the whole cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf before serving.
9
Serve the pork with the chancaca sauce spooned over. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
