Recipes

Recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) ground pork
1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup / 150 g)
½ cup (120 g) diced tomato or 1 Tbsp (15 g) tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
3 cups (720 ml) chicken broth
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 Tbsp heavy cream to garnish
Fresh parsley or basil, to garnish

Instructions:

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon for about 5–7 minutes.

Stir in the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and tomato or tomato paste. Sauté for another 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Season generously with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables.

Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Garnish with a drizzle of heavy cream and chopped parsley or basil.
