👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Season the pork cubes with salt, black pepper, and all-purpose seasoning. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.

Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the diced tomatoes and thyme sprigs. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
- 5
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add water or chicken broth, ensuring the pork is mostly submerged. Add the whole scotch bonnet pepper.

Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
- 7
Add the sliced okra to the pot. Stir gently. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Remove the thyme sprigs and scotch bonnet pepper before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
