EAST INDIAN PORK VINDALOO

Steps:

• Prepare pork - Cut the meat into large chunks, season generously with salt and pepper - let marinate overnight in the fridge. On the next day, wash and pat dry.
• Ground masala - Soak the chilies in hot water for 10 minutes. In a blender or food processor - blend together the chilies, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cumin seed with vinegar. (Do not use water) Pro tip - I like to remove the seeds from the chilies to make them less spicy but it also gives a smoother consistency for the masala paste.
• Marinate the pork - Add the ground masala to the chopped pork pieces making sure to massage it into the meat so it is all well coated. Let it marinate for 8 hours in the fridge or up to 24 hours. Pro tip - Use an earthen pot, plastic, or glass container to marinate. Do not use a metal container as the vinegar will react with the metal causing oxidization.
• Cook the vindaloo - Place the vindaloo in a skillet or cook it over medium heat until the pork renders some of the fat. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook until the meat is fork-tender.
• Taste and adjust seasoning. If necessary add more vinegar (but not water).
