Add zesty Mexican spice to slow-cooked pork.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5kg piece pork neck (scotch)
  • 18.40 gm grapeseed oil
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 10.00 gm ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 5.00 gm smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 400g can crushed tomatoes
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • Light sour cream, to serve
  • 400g can kidney beans, drained, rinsed
  • 310g can corn kernels, drained
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1 large red capsicum, diced
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 42.00 gm lime juice
Instructions:
  • Massage 2 teaspoons of oil into the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides for 8 to 10 minutes until nicely browned. Then, transfer the pork to a plate.
  • Pour the rest of the oil into the pan and toss in the onion. Sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Throw in the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, chili flakes, and oregano. Stir around for a minute until the aroma fills the air. Introduce the tomato, sugar, and ½ cup of cold water. Mix together and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add the pork back to the pan, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with the sauce every half hour.
  • - Flip the pork over in the pan and cover. Let it cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting every half hour, until the pork is tender. - Move the pork to a plate and cover it with foil. - Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until it thickens. - Season with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the salad by combining beans, corn, avocado, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss everything together.
  • Slice the pork into thick pieces and plate with a delicious sauce, sour cream, and a side salad.
