Instruções

Season and Prepare the Pork: Season the pork chunks lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then sear the pork until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set it aside.

Sauté the Aromatics: Add the onions, garlic, carrots, and chili to the same pot. Mix well, then add the tomato paste and stir for 1–2 minutes to caramelize.

Build the Base: Add the crushed tomatoes, cinnamon, allspice, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaves. Mix well to combine.

Add the Cabbage: Add in the shredded cabbage, then the lemon juice and salt. Stir to coat the cabbage thoroughly in the tomato and spice mixture. Cook for 1–2 minutes.

Combine and Cook: Return the seared pork to the pot, nestling it deeply into the cabbage mixture so it is fully submerged and absorbs all the flavours. Pour in the vegetable stock, adding just enough to almost cover the contents. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 45 minutes, until the pork is tender and the cabbage is soft. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Rest and Serve: Turn off the heat and allow the stew to rest for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
