Spicy Peruvian Pork

This Peruvian pork stew has a unique flavor and is delicious served over rice. It has always been met with praise. The spices in the marinade can stain, so I use a metal bowl to do the marinating (and also wear an apron). Do try!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 ½ pounds boneless pork shoulder, cubed

  • ¼ cup white vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 cup orange juice

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. Place pork into a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together vinegar, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over pork and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer pork to the hot skillet, reserving marinade. Cook in hot oil until nicely browned on the outside. Add orange juice, 1/2 cup water, onion, and reserved marinade. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is fork tender, about 30 minutes.

  3. In a small cup, stir together flour and 2 tablespoons water. Stir into the skillet and simmer uncovered until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.
