Garlic Pork | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

2 lbs pork shoulder or pork belly, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooked rice or bread, for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Pork

In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, allspice, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.

Add the pork pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cook the Pork

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add the marinated pork to the skillet and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Saut√© until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Return the pork to the skillet and pour in the water or chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more liquid if needed to maintain a sauce-like consistency.

Finish and Serve

Stir in the white vinegar and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
