Ingredients

• 500 grams pork shoulder or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 250 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add them to the pot and brown the meat on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, paprika, dried oregano, and remaining salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the browned pork cubes to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pot and let it cook for 20-25 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and flavors meld together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
