Spicy Pork Peruvian Style Recipe

This recipe goes back to hundreds of years back in Peru starting with the Incas. All was made in one pot with all the local spices and of course, the citric flavors that were added to the meal. They just let the meat simmer until it was tender to the touch and top it off, they added potatoes to make it just perfect.

Did you know, In Peru, you can find more than 3800 varieties of potatoes. They differ in size, shape, color, skin, pulp, texture, and of cause in their taste, but all have their place in Peruvian cuisine.

Really any type of potato you add to this dish will be awesome with the pork and the nice thick sauce, a real Family and friend, pleaser.

Let me know how yours turned out and did you add anything else to it.

I like to use Pork shoulder and I also have to know where did it come from. I always make sure that comes from a free-range farm, for only in that way can you get the best taste.

Now you can use a lower cut grade, but you then should add about another half-hour cooking time or more to the pork to get it tender.

Want to be brave, then just double up on the spices and watch how it will blow your tongue off with taste and spice. Remember to watch out for putting too much salt into the mixture.

I did use low-sodium broth, but with all the spices added you will find out that there is little need for more salt.

Add a little at a time when it comes to the flour and the water mixture. Add it slowly and watch how it thickens up before you add too more.

If it happens to thicken up too much, then just add a little more water.

When the potatoes are tender by testing it with the fork, then you know that it is ready to serve.

The total cooking time for the pork is roughly about an hour and the potatoes for about 30 mins. Now that is if you are using a 1 st. grade pork, as for a lower cut then the meat cooking time should be longer to get it to be tender.
