👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Allowing the pork to come to room temperature before searing will ensure more even cooking.
2
Heat the achiote oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the pork and set aside.
3
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Stir in the minced garlic and cumin, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Deglaze the pot with the beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
6
Return the seared pork to the pot. Add 2 cups of water, ensuring the pork is mostly submerged. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Check the liquid level periodically and add more water or broth if needed.
7
Add the green plantain pieces to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the plantains are tender.
8
In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter with a ladleful of the stew liquid until smooth. Stir this mixture back into the stew.
💡 전문가 팁: This will help to thicken the sauce and incorporate the peanut flavor.
9
Simmer for another 10 minutes, uncovered, allowing the sauce to thicken. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
10
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot.
💡 전문가 팁: Traditionally served with white rice.
