👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Season the pork or chicken pieces generously with salt and black pepper.
💡 專業提示: Allow meat to marinate for at least 15 minutes. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides until nicely seared. Remove meat and set aside.
- 3
Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, dissolve the achiote paste in a little warm water or broth. Add this mixture to the pot along with the chopped cilantro, allspice berries, and cumin.
💡 專業提示: Ensure achiote paste is fully dissolved to avoid clumps. - 7
Return the seared meat to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth or water, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Add the whole scotch bonnet pepper if using.
💡 專業提示: Adjust liquid for desired stew consistency. - 8
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
💡 專業提示: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove scotch bonnet pepper before serving if desired. - 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. The sauce should be rich and dark.
💡 專業提示: The color should be a deep, dark brown.
💡 專業提示
