This mouthwatering dish combines tender pork with a fiery pepper sauce. I prefer frying the pork for this recipe as it enhances the flavors when mixed with the spicy sauce.
Prep time: 1 hour (including marination) Cook time: 1 hour 10 minutes Servings: 4 People
Ingredients
• 600g diced pork, preferably pork belly
• Four to five red bell peppers (Tatashe)

• Three onions
• Coconut oil or vegetable oil

Marinade

• Two Knorr chicken cubes
• One tablespoon minced garlic
• One tablespoon minced ginger
• One tablespoon rosemary
• One tablespoon dried thyme or ten sprigs fresh thyme
• One teaspoon onion salt

Method
• Clean the pork thoroughly, removing excess fat. Combine marinade ingredients and rub over pork. Marinate for at least one hour.

• Set cooked pork aside. Blend peppers and two onions to a rough consistency.

• Fry pepper mixture for 30-35 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
