CARNE DE PUERCO CON CALABACITAS Y ELOTE (PORK SIRLOIN WITH ZUCCHINI & CORN) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet to medium heat for a few minutes. Add the pork and season with salt, pepper and cumin. Add the water, spread out evenly, cover and cook until all the water has evaporated. Once water has evaporated, uncover, add the oil or lard and brown the pork (with the lid off) until almost crispy on most sides. Add the peppers and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper as you add your layers, just a pinch. Blend the tomatoes with the garlic, adding a little bit of water if needed to get a smooth consistency. Set aside. Add the zucchini, corn and cilantro and cook just until zucchini becomes slightly tender. Add the tomato mixture; stir well to combine. Cook at a low/medium temperature for another 10 minutes, taste for salt. Serve with your favorite rice, beans, salsa and warm tortillas. Yields up to 5 servings. Notes: If you want to, you can add a little fresh serrano pepper to the tomato mixture before you blend it. It adds a hint of spice, but is not spicy.
