🧂 Ingrediënten
- 800 g Pork belly(preferably with bone, cut into large chunks)
- 500 g Pounded cassava leaves(fresh or frozen, available at Afro/Asian markets)
- 1 large Onion(chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 inch piece Ginger(fresh, peeled and minced)
- 1 liter Cooking oil(sunflower oil or other vegetable oil (use less if preferred))

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the pork chunks and brown them on all sides until golden, about 15-20 minutes.
- 2
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the pounded cassava leaves to the pot and stir to combine with the pork and aromatics. Pour in the water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- 4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender and the cassava leaves are fully cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

If using, stir in the optional sugar and coconut milk during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve hot with white rice. A tomato rougail or spicy garlic-ginger sauce can be served as accompaniments.
💡 Pro Tips: If fresh cassava leaves are unavailable, frozen pounded cassava leaves can be found at specialty stores. Ensure they are thoroughly thawed before use.
