Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Total: 60 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 500 g pork tenderloin
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 carrot
- 200 g canned tomatoes (or fresh, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (preferably olive oil or sunflower oil)

Preparation of sweet pork curry:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cleaning and chopping all the ingredients. Wash the pork tenderloin well, then cut it into cubes of about 2-3 cm. This will allow for even cooking. Clean the onion and garlic, then chop them finely. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin rounds for quicker cooking.

2. Sauté the vegetables: In a wok or deep pan, heat the two tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until it becomes slightly golden. Add the garlic and curry powder, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes. This step will release the flavors of the oil and enhance the taste of the curry.

3. Deglaze with vinegar: After the vegetables have sautéed, deglaze the mixture with a tablespoon of vinegar. This will add a note of acidity, balancing the rich flavors of the curry. After mixing well, remove the onion and garlic from the pan and set them aside.

4. Preparing the meat: In the same pan, add the pork tenderloin cubes. Allow the meat to fry over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it browns evenly on all sides. This process will help the meat retain its juiciness.

5. Adding the ingredients: Once the meat is browned, season with salt and pepper to taste. Reintroduce the sautéed onion and garlic, add the canned (or fresh, diced) tomatoes, and the sliced carrots. Sprinkle the brown sugar, which will add natural sweetness and a savory glaze.

6. Simmering the mixture: Add half a cup of hot water, mix everything well, then cover the pan with a lid. Let it simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce reduces and thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Serving: The curry is ready! Serve it warm, alongside boiled rice or fresh naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce. You can also add some fresh coriander leaves on top for an extra touch of flavor and color.

Practical tips:
- Choose the right meat: Pork tenderloin is ideal for this curry due to its juiciness, but you can also use other types of meat, such as chicken or lamb, depending on your preferences.
- Customize the recipe: If you want to add a touch of spice, you can include some chili or paprika. Additionally, adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini can enrich the dish.
- Cook in advance: Sweet pork curry can be prepared a day ahead, and the flavors will intensify overnight, making it even more delicious.

Nutritional benefits:
This curry is a good source of protein due to the pork and contains vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, while carrots add fiber and vitamin A.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of meat? Yes, this recipe can easily be adapted. You can use chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Can I freeze the curry? Yes, the curry can be frozen, but it is recommended to consume it fresh to enjoy the flavors.
