Tomatican Con Pulpa De Cerdo Chilean Summer Pork Stew Recipes

CARNE ADOVADA (RED CHILE AND PORK STEW)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy-bottomed, ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until onions are golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer onions and garlic to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, cumin, and pepper. Add pork and toss to coat. Return pot to medium-high heat, add remaining 1 tablespoons oil, and, working in batches, lightly brown meat on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer meat to a separate bowl as you go.
• Return onions and garlic to pot. Sprinkle with ground chiles and cook, stirring, 2 minutes (mixture will be thick- I added some of the broth at this point to keep the chile from burning). Add the rest of the broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of pot. Whirl sauce in a blender until smooth. Return sauce to pot and add bay leaf and reserved pork (I also added the pork bone).
• 4. Cover pot, put in oven, and cook 1 hour. Set lid slightly ajar and cook until pork is fork-tender, about 1 hour more. Remove bay leaf and season with additional salt before serving.

• Add undrained tomatoes, corn and broth to pan. Return pork to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered 1 hour or until pork is tender.
• Remove bay leaf; add beans, salt and pepper. Heat through and serve.

ESTOFADO DE CERDO (PORK STEW)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and cook for about 4 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the tomato and water, and cook for about 7 minutes more.

• Add the potatoes, green beans and carrots. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
• Serve with rice and avocado on the side.

CHARQUICAN- CHILEAN STEW

Steps:

• First, fry meat in lard or oil with the onion, corn, chile peppers, salt and oregano.
• When the onion is soft, add the potatoes, vegetables and broth.
• Let simmer until the vegetables are cooked.
• Serve with a fried egg on top of each serving.

GREEN CHILE PORK STEW

Steps:

• Mix flour, cumin, pepper, salt, and sage in a gallon-size zipper bag.
• Add meat cubes and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Heat oil in a large skillet.
• Brown pork in batches (meat will be crispier that way); remove from skillet when browned and place in the crock of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
• With the heat still on, add the vinegar to the skillet and quickly scrape up the browned bits left in the pan (the vinegar will reduce quite rapidly).
• Add the vinegar reduction to the meat in the crock.
• Add onions, potatoes, salsa, broth, and brown sugar to the crock and stir well.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 4-5 hours, if you can't wait that long).
• If you would like the stew to be a bit thicker, mash a few of the potatoes.
• Serve with slabs of warm cornbread (such as my recipe for Mexican Cornbread).

PORK STEW

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven pan, put the butter and the cubed pork. Cook until all the pork is browned, about 30 minutes.
• Add the onion,and the chicken bouillon and a little chicken stock. Let this simmer until tender (this is how you get good gravy on the stew).
• When pork is done, add the vegetables.
• Stir all together and add the chicken broth and enough water to cover the vegetables.
• Simmer until the vegetables are done.
• To thicken the gravy, I use the peppered gravy mix in a 1/2 cup water.

CHARQUICAN - CHILEAN BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Toss the cubes of beef with the flour and season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the cubes of beef until browned.
• Add the beef stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer over low heat.
• Chop the beef jerky into small pieces and add to the beef stock and beef cubes. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
• Transfer beef and beef stock to a large stockpot or slow cooker.
• Do not clean skillet. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the chopped onion and garlic, and the aji chile pepper paste to the skillet. Sauté until the onion and garlic are soft and fragrant. Add the chopped squash, carrots, and potatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
• Add sautéed vegetables to the stockpot or crockpot with the beef. Simmer over low heat until beef and beef jerky are tender, about a hour and a half on the stove. (about 6 hours in the crockpot). If simmering the stew on the stove, you may need to add more liquid (beef stock or water) from time to time, but stew should finish up very thick, without much broth.
• Add the lima beans and corn and simmer for 10-15 minutes more.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve over rice.
