PERUVIAN PORK STEW WITH CHILES, LIME AND APPLES



Peruvian Pork Stew With Chiles, Lime and Apples image

Spicy and sweet, this Peruvian stew is rich with apples and onions and scented with chiles, lime and cloves. It's not at all difficult to make, and it takes less time than you would think, about two hours from start to finish. As you brown the pork on all sides in a pot, sauté the onions and apples with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves in another. Combine everything and braise until the pork is very tender and falling apart. If you'd like to make it in a slow cooker, put everything into the crock after browning and sautéing and turn the cooker on high. It will be ready in four to six hours.

Time 1h30m

Yield at least 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 pounds trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 large white onions, chopped
4 large apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
3 snipped and seeded ancho or other mild dried chiles
3 bay leaves
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 cups chicken stock
Steamed rice for serving
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the pork in it on all sides; you may have to do this in batches for the most efficient browning. Meanwhile, sauté the onions and apples in a pan with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily but not vigorously. (If you're using a slow cooker, turn it to high and walk away for 4 or 6 hours.)
  • Cook, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then lower the heat (this will keep well for at least an hour before serving). Remove the meat, then reduce the broth as necessary; serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro.

CARAPULCRA (PERUVIAN PORK & DRIED POTATO STEW)



Carapulcra (Peruvian Pork & Dried Potato Stew) image

This recipe came to me in a rather obscure way...my friend Mark (for far longer then either of us wishes to admit) got a recipe book from his Peruvian handyman for Christmas. This is one he tried and liked so much that he shared the recipe with me! (Of course, he likes Stealth Chili too, and it almost blew my taste buds away!...

Categories     Pork

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c dehydrated potato flakes (aka potato buds)
2 1/4 lb pork ribs
4 clove garlic, chopped
3 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
pinch ground cumin
4 Tbsp panca chili paste
2 Tbsp yellow chili paste
2 qt pork broth (stock)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Oven to 300 degrees. Toast potato flakes 6 min until they start to brown. Put them into a bowl, cover with water, soak overnight.
  • 2. Next day cut ribs into 2x2" cubes, salt and pepper. Grind peanuts fine in a mortar and pestle, set aside. Melt 1/2 lard in pan over med heat and brown pork on all sides. Then remove from pan and set aside. Add remaining lard, onion and garlic to pan. Saute a few min until onion is softened. Add cloves, cinnamon stick, cumin, both chili pastes, and salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring, 10 min or until paste thickens and onions are well cooked.
  • 3. Drain soaked potatoes, add to pan with browned pork pieces. Pour in pork broth, ensuring liquid covers ingredients (you can add a little water if necessary). Bring to simmer and cook over low heat, uncovered 2-3 hours until meat is tender. (At this point I would think you could do this in a crockpot if you wanted to). Add ground peanuts and cook another 30 min. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Spoon into large shallow bowls and serve.
