Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Servings: 4
Necessary ingredients:
- 600 g lean pork (ideal is the thigh or chop)
- 400 g fresh raspberries (or frozen, but fresh is preferred)
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam (optional, but recommended for extra flavor)
- ½ cup meat broth (can also be vegetable broth)
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sunflower oil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step by step for a perfect recipe:
1. Preparing the raspberry sauce: Start by crushing the raspberries with the back of a spoon until it becomes a paste. Then, place it in a small pot, add ½ cup of water, and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. After it has simmered, let the mixture cool slightly and then strain it through a fine sieve to obtain a smooth syrup. Discard the seeds and keep only the syrup.
2. Preparing the meat: Cut the pork into cubes of about 3-4 cm. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the meat cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes until golden. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the peeled and finely chopped onion, then the sliced garlic cloves. Sauté them until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Cook the dish: Add the meat broth and raspberry syrup to the skillet, mixing well. Then, return the meat cubes to the skillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Let everything simmer on low heat, covered, for 20 minutes. This will help the meat absorb the flavors of the sauce.
5. Finish the sauce: After the meat is cooked, remove the pork cubes and keep them warm. In the remaining sauce, add the raspberry jam and mix well. Simmer the sauce for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Serving: Serve the pork with raspberry sauce warm, alongside steamed vegetables, rice, or baked potatoes. A personal touch would be to garnish the plate with a few fresh raspberries for an elegant appearance.
Useful tips:
- Make sure the meat is well browned, as this step contributes to a richer flavor.
- If you desire an even more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar to the sauce.
- For a vegetarian option, you can replace the pork with tofu or mushrooms, and the raspberry sauce will add a delicious contrast.
This pork recipe with raspberry sauce is not only simple but also quick, perfect for turning an ordinary meal into a true feast. Enjoy every bite and savor the compliments from your loved ones!
