Necessary ingredients

- 500 grams of pork shoulder (choose well-marbled meat for better taste)
- 1 large onion (preferably white or yellow for a sweet flavor)
- 2 green peppers (you can also use red peppers for added color)
- 9 teaspoons of roasted pepper paste with tomatoes (you can use sweet pepper paste if you prefer)
- 5 cloves of garlic (for an intense flavor)

Necessary utensils

Step by step

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the pork well and cutting it into cubes of about 3 cm. This will help the meat cook evenly. Cut the onion and peppers into small cubes so they easily integrate into the mix.

2. Heating the pot: Place the Zepter pot on medium heat and cover it. Wait until the thermometer indicates the limit between green and red. This is a sign that the pot is ready to be used.

3. Browning the meat: Add the pork cubes to the heated pot. Use a wooden spoon to turn them so they brown evenly on all sides. This step is essential for developing a delicious crust.

4. Add the vegetables: Once the meat is browned, add the onion and pepper. Cover the pot and let it cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. These vegetables will add sweetness and flavor to the dish.

5. Incorporate the roasted pepper paste: Add the roasted pepper paste and mix well. Cover the pot again and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This step will intensify the flavor of the dish and create a delicious sauce.

6. Add the garlic: After 15 minutes, add the crushed garlic and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes. The garlic will provide a distinct taste and an inviting aroma.

7. Season: Finally, season with salt, pepper, and finely chopped herbs. Mix well and turn off the heat. Let the dish sit covered for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

We served the pork cubes with creamy mashed potatoes and pickles. This combination is perfect, as the mashed potatoes absorb the delicious sauce, and the pickles add a note of freshness. You can also add a cabbage salad for an extra crunch.

Nutritional benefits

Pork is a good source of protein and contains significant amounts of B vitamins, which are essential for energy metabolism. The vegetables add fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while fresh herbs improve digestion and have antioxidant properties. This recipe is not only delicious but also nutritious!

Vegetarian option

If you want a vegetarian version of this recipe, you can replace the pork with tofu or tempeh, which absorb the flavors of the sauce very well.
