sweet & hot jalapeno pork
sorry for not being able to show you any pictures, it was just too delicious. i had to eat it right away.
with noodles or other side dishes this should serve 2:
- 2 chops of pork – 2 tbsp brown sugar – 1 big jalapeño pepper (kinda spicy) – 2 pasilla peppers (slightly spicy, not too much) – 1/2 cup butter – salt – pepper – ground cumin
- noodles, rice, sauce, whatever you want with it
cut everything into short stir-fry sized slices.
heat the butter in a deep frying pan.
add meat, passila and jalapeno.
cook with lid closed till most of the meats pink color is gone, that way the meat takes on the nice jalapeño flavor.
add sugar and spices.
let it cook for a couple of minutes, make sure there’s enough liquid in the pan.
towards the end cook with lid opened so water can vaporize.
continue till the meat and peppers start to actually fry a little.
if you serve it like this, you might want to have a little sauce.
otherwise it could get a little dry, depending on your side dish.
variation:
add cream in the end to get a nice and rich sauce.
what you get:
a nice and easy meal.
each bite starts off sweet and shortly after the (not overly) subtle heat of the jalapeños sets in. it’s not really violent, but adds to the overall flavor quite nicely.
