Pork and vegetable stew

Pork and vegetable stew simmers with pork neck until tender, while the sauce reduces and thickens. The onion, gogosari peppers, kapia pepper and tomato soften around the meat and make a thick sauce, good spooned over mashed potatoes. I look for fine streaks of fat in the pork neck; I get along better with pork than with veal. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 82 minutes. Total time: 102 minutes. Serves: 4.

Ingredients
- 700 g pork neck
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 red onion
- 2 large gogosari peppers
- 1 large kapia pepper
- 1 large tomato
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 500 ml water
Preparation
1. Peel the yellow and red onions, then finely chop them. Cut the gogosari peppers and kapia pepper into small cubes, peel the tomato and dice it, then cut the pork neck into roughly 3 cm cubes. 2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Add the onion, gogosari peppers and kapia pepper, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook for 10 minutes, until softened. 3. Add the tomato and tomato paste and stir for 2 minutes. Add the meat, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the pepper and 500 ml of water, then cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 70 minutes, until the meat is tender and the sauce has reduced.
Notes
Pork neck with fine streaks of fat holds up well to simmering; a very lean piece can dry out before the sauce reduces. For cubes larger than 3 cm, allow another 10-15 minutes of simmering, until very tender. Sometimes the sauce stays watery if the tomato is juicy; leave the stew uncovered at the end until it thickens. It keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days; when reheating, add a little water if the sauce has thickened too much. If you can’t find gogosari peppers, use 2 large red peppers, diced, instead. Serve it with mashed potatoes, with the sauce spooned over the top.
Frequently asked questions
Can pork shoulder be used instead of pork neck?
Yes. Add 700 g of pork shoulder cut into cubes and simmer the stew for about 80 minutes, until tender.
Can the fresh tomato be replaced?
Use 150 g of drained canned diced tomatoes instead of the large tomato.
What should I do if the pork neck is still tough?
Simmer it for another 15 minutes over low heat. If the liquid has almost all reduced, pour in 100 ml of hot water.
