Tips:

  • Brown the pork before stewing: Browning the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the stew pot will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and garlic, but you can also add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, potatoes, or green beans.
  • Season the stew well: Use a combination of spices and herbs to flavor the stew, such as cumin, oregano, paprika, and bay leaves.
  • Simmer the stew until the pork is tender: The stew should simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the stew with rice, beans, or vegetables: This stew is delicious served with rice, beans, or vegetables, and it can also be served with tortillas or crusty bread.
