Caribbean Pork Stew With Peppers Recipe 45

Steps:

• Place spareribs in a pot, and cover with water. Place pot over high heat, and bring to a boil. Lower heat slightly, and cook, covered, for 15 or 20 minutes, then remove ribs to a large bowl and discard the water.
• While the ribs cook, pour the oil into a Dutch oven set over high heat, and swirl it around. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and when the oil begins to shimmer and is about to smoke, add them to the pan, skin-side down. Brown the chicken aggressively, about 5 to 7 minutes per side, then add the chicken to the bowl with the ribs. Repeat with the sausages, browning them on all sides for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, then add to the bowl with the chicken and the ribs. Cook the onions and garlic in the fat remaining in the Dutch oven, stirring occasionally until they soften and begin to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
• Heat oven to 300. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, lemon juice, hot-pepper sauce, chicken stock, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chile powder and paprika to the onions and garlic in the Dutch oven, then stir to combine, and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the meats to the Dutch oven, stirring and tossing them so that they are well covered with the sauce, then cover the pot, and place in the oven to cook, undisturbed, for approximately 90 minutes, or until the meats are tender and, in the case of the chicken and the ribs, pulling from the bone.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven combine the beans, broth and water; heat to boiling.
• Add the pork, plantains, and tomatoes to the bean mixture.
• Stir in the frozen vegetables, ginger, cumin, the 1/4 teaspoon red pepper, and the salt.
• Return miture to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until plantains are tender.
• Serve with hot rice.
• If desired, sprinkle with additional crushed red pepper.

Steps:

• Brown onions and pork in oil.
• In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add vinegar, soya sauce, ketchup, water, and syrup/juice of drained pineapple.
• Add mixture to pork.
• Cook over low heat, stirring until thick and clear.
• Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
• Add pineapple tidbits and green pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Serve over hot rice.

Steps:

• Heat bacon grease in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the pork, and cook until evenly browned. Remove pork and liquid from the pot, and set aside.
• In the large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, and saute the onions until tender and lightly browned. Mix in the flour and paprika, and, stirring constantly, cook until thickened.
• Mix pork, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers into the pot. Stir in the beef stock, tomato paste, garlic, salt, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, place flour, salt, and pepper. Add pork; seal bag and shake to coat. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown pork cubes in oil on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Spray 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. With a slotted spoon, remove pork from skillet to slow cooker. Stir in all remaining ingredients except rice and water. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours. About 25 minutes before pork is done, cook rice in water as directed on package. Serve stew over rice.
