Pork Vindaloo image

Cooking Indian food at home for the first time isn't easy. You may not have Indian red chile powder, Kashmiri red chile powder or tamarind pulp on hand. But a trip to a specialty market, or some time spent online, will yield the pantry basics. This fiery vindaloo is an interesting and not very difficult place to get started.

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 to 10 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon Indian red chili powder (see note) or red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon Kashmiri red chili powder (see note) or Hungarian hot paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 inchwide ball of tamarind pulp (see note)
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
5 cloves
4 green cardamom pods (see note)
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds, coarsely crushed (see note)
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Cooked rice for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and ginger. Add vinegar, turmeric, cumin, chili powders and salt and blend well. Transfer to a large bowl, add pork and turn to coat well. Cover and set aside at room temperature for one hour.
  • Place tamarind in a bowl with one cup hot water. When cool enough to handle, crush tamarind with fingers to extract pulp clinging to fibers. Add another cup of hot water and mix well. Strain into a clean bowl, discarding fibrous residue.
  • In a large sauté pan, combine oil, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and mustard seeds. Fry over medium-high heat until sizzling and aromatic, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add pork and cook, turning until lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
  • Add tamarind juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add bell pepper and cook 7 minutes. Serve with rice.

This pork vindaloo was a bit too spicy for me, but the flavors were great. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less chili peppers.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some pork loin that I needed to use up and this recipe was perfect. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I served it with rice and it was a hit with my family.
