Working on my Indian cooking for the moment. Although very little pork is consumed in India, this dish is a specialty of Goan cooking, and vindaloo dishes always contain vinegar. Serve with rice.

Time 9h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 (3 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 cinnamon stick
8 whole black peppercorns
4 whole cloves
½ cup vinegar, divided, or to taste
2 tablespoons water
1 pound lean pork, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 fresh curry leaves
1 pound tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
salt to taste
4 cups pork stock, or as needed
3 sprigs cilantro

Steps:

  • Grind onion, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves with just enough vinegar to keep the mixture moving in a blender or food processor until you have a thick paste.
  • Mix remaining vinegar and water together in a large bowl. Add pork cubes to the bowl and thoroughly rinse the meat with the vinegar mixture; drain. Pat pork dry with paper towel.
  • Mix the paste and pork cubes together in a clean bowl, assuring the pork cubes are coated in paste. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry curry leaves in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add marinated pork, tomatoes, and turmeric; cook and stir until the tomatoes are completely softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Season the pork mixture with salt. Pour enough pork stock over the mixture to assure everything is at least half-submerged. Bring the stock to a simmer, place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the pork is completely tender, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Remove lid from skillet and continue to simmer the mixture until the sauce is very thick, about 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

PORK VINDALOO



Pork Vindaloo image

Cooking Indian food at home for the first time isn't easy. You may not have Indian red chile powder, Kashmiri red chile powder or tamarind pulp on hand. But a trip to a specialty market, or some time spent online, will yield the pantry basics. This fiery vindaloo is an interesting and not very difficult place to get started.

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 to 10 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon Indian red chili powder (see note) or red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon Kashmiri red chili powder (see note) or Hungarian hot paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 inchwide ball of tamarind pulp (see note)
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
5 cloves
4 green cardamom pods (see note)
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds, coarsely crushed (see note)
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Cooked rice for serving

Steps:

PORK VINDALOO



Pork vindaloo image

Marinate pork with Indian flavours for this traditionally very spicy, aromatic curry - decrease the number of dried chillies for less heat

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1kg pork shoulder , trimmed and cut into bite-sized cubes
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large onions , finely chopped
1 tbsp mild chilli powder
250ml chicken stock
handful coriander leaves
undefined
cooked basmati rice , to serve
naan , to serve
6 green cardamom pods
½ tsp black peppercorns
125ml red wine vinegar
1 heaped tbsp finely grated ginger
4 large garlic cloves , finely grated
1 tsp golden caster sugar
8 small dried chillies
pinch of ground cloves
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp turmeric

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and grind with the peppercorns using a pestle and mortar. Mix with the rest of the marinade ingredients, then pour over the pork. Mix everything together well, then cover and leave to marinate overnight or for at least 8 hrs.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the onions for about 5 mins until starting to soften. Add the chilli powder to the pan and cook for 1 min. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork from the marinade and add to the pan. Turn up the heat a little and cook for about 5 mins, stirring all the time. Add the leftover marinade to the pan with the stock. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 40-45 mins until the pork is soft and the sauce thickened - it should be thick rather than saucy. Pick out the dried chillies, if you like, season, scatter with the coriander leaves, and serve with steamed rice and naan.
