Pork curry with peas is a tasty and aromatic dish, perfect for a family dinner or to impress guests. This simple recipe combines tender pork with sweet peas and exotic spices, offering an unforgettable taste. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

- 500 g pork (shoulder is ideal)
- 200 g fresh or frozen peas
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 bell pepper (any color)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 200 ml coconut milk (optional, for a creamy taste)
- Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the pork under cold water, then pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the meat into small cubes, about 2 cm, for even cooking. Chop the onion finely and crush or mince the garlic. Slice the bell pepper into thin rings.

2. Heating the oil: In a large skillet or wok, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Olive oil not only adds flavor but is also healthier than other types of oil.

3. Sautéing the vegetables: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. This step is essential for releasing the flavors from the vegetables.

4. Cooking the meat: Add the pork cubes to the skillet and brown them for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. The meat should be lightly cooked on all sides.

5. Adding the spices: Sprinkle curry powder, turmeric, and cumin over the meat. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with spices. These flavors will turn the dish into a true feast.

6. Incorporating the peas: Add the peas to the skillet and stir to combine with the other ingredients. If using frozen peas, there’s no need to thaw them beforehand.

7. Final cooking: If you want a creamy sauce, add the coconut milk now. This will provide a rich taste and a velvety texture. Let the dish simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the meat is tender and the peas are cooked but still crunchy.

8. Final seasoning: Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as preferred.

9. Serving: Serve the pork curry with peas hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. You can accompany this dish with basmati rice or naan to soak up the delicious sauce.

Practical tips:

- If you prefer a spicier curry, you can add a chopped chili pepper or chili flakes.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the pork with tofu or various vegetables such as cauliflower and carrots.
- You can experiment with other spices like coriander or cardamom to add a distinct note to the dish.
