👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Prepare a dry rub by combining cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture thoroughly into the pork chunks.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure the pork is evenly coated for maximum flavor. - 2
Heat half of the sunflower oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides until nicely seared. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Add the remaining sunflower oil to the pot. Sauté the chopped onion, sliced leeks, mushrooms, sliced carrots, and diced red bell pepper for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 4
Pour in about 120 ml (1/2 cup) of water or broth. Cover and simmer over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- 5
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- 6
Return the browned pork to the pot along with the bay leaves. Add the remaining water or broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for at least 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender.
- 7
Once the pork is tender, remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce it.
💡 Професійні поради: The stew can also be finished in the oven at 170°C (340°F) for 2-3 hours for a more traditional slow-cooked flavor. - 8
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. It pairs wonderfully with boiled or mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
💡 Професійні поради: Leftovers often taste even better the next day.
💡 Професійні поради
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use beef broth instead of water.
- ✓If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of flour with a little cold water and stir it into the simmering stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- ✓Adjust the amount of leeks to your preference; they add a subtle sweetness and oniony flavor.
