Here's a recipe I invented that you might like:
You'll need!:
Onion powder
Garlic Powder
Cumin
Coriander
Salt
Black Pepper
2-3 medium, ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 1/2, 2 lbs of pork
Mix your spices. Maybe do 1/2 tbsp Garlic and Onion powers,1/2 tbsp salt, 1 tsp cumin/coriander, black pepper. Eyeball this, I've never bothered to measure, but I'm just keeping in mind that C&C are powerful spices.
So get your pork ready. I used to get pre-cubed "stew" pork, but lately I've just been using pork chops. Trim the fat and cut into 1/2" cubes. Toss your pork cubes in the spice mix and let it sit.
Heat up some oil in a wide fry pan. When it's good and hot, throw your pork in and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Make sure to move it around so that all the sides of the cube cook real even like.
In the meantime, give your tomatoes a rough chop. They don't have to be finely diced, just get them into chunks. Do the same with an onion- I like to cut the onion in half length-wise and then just chop straight down so that I get "half-rings".
When the pork is mostly cooked, add the tomatoes and onions. Stir to combine, put a lid on the pan and walk away.
What happens next is magic- The tomatoes break down into a rich sauce, they mingle with the spiced meat juices and the onions and create a kind of stew that braises the pork. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until some of the liquid boils off. Give it a stir if you feel the need, it may need salt at this point, so taste for that, too. When it's done, add the clove of chopped garlic, remove from the heat and serve. I usually eat it straight, but it makes a JAWSOME taco.
