Tips:
- To enhance the flavor of the pork, use a combination of bone-in and boneless cuts. Bone-in pork will impart a richer flavor to the stew.
- Sear the pork in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to develop a nice brown crust on the pork, which will add flavor to the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the stew, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
- Be generous with the spices in the stew. Cuban-style pork stew is typically well-seasoned with garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is fall-apart tender. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the stew with a side of rice, beans, or crusty bread.
