Spicy tender pork, perfect with rice for a Mexican feast!
Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 1.2kg piece pork scotch (neck)
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 10.00 gm ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 7.50 gm smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp hot chilli powder (see note)
  • 2.50 gm ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 2 red capsicums, chopped
Instructions:
  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a large casserole dish until hot. Sear pork on all sides for 5 to 7 minutes until nicely browned. Move pork to a plate.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in the pan. Saute the onion until softened, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, chili powder, cinnamon, and cloves. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and 1 cup of cold water, then bring to a boil.
  • Combine pork and juices in the dish, cover, and simmer over low heat for 2 hours, turning pork halfway through. Add capsicum and continue to simmer for another 1 1/2 hours, turning pork halfway, until pork is tender and sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Gently remove pork from sauce and place on a cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred the pork. Place the shredded pork back into the sauce and return to heat. Simmer without a lid for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
