👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Season the pork cubes generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.
- 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, scallions, thyme, and pimento peppers (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the curry powder and garam masala, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
- 5
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, prunes, and water or beef broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the pork is very tender. Stir occasionally, adding more liquid if needed to keep the pork moist.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. The sauce should be rich and slightly thickened.
- 8
Serve hot, typically with rice, peas, or a side salad.
💡 Dicas Profissionais
- ✓For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork in a mixture of garlic, ginger, thyme, and a little soy sauce for at least 30 minutes before browning.
- ✓If the sauce is too thin, you can remove the lid during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to allow it to reduce.
- ✓Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar, depending on your preference.
