Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into cubes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
  2. Add the pork cubes into the bowl and toss until the meat is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  4. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, soy sauce, and lime juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  7. Return the browned pork to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and tender.
  8. Once the pork is cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or warm tortillas.
