Pork stew with ajwar
I like fish, kasha and vegetables prepared in different ways. The only meatless product which is not my cup of tea is tofu. But maybe one day an interesting dish will change my mind. I can't quite reject meat. Sometimes it "follows me around" and lures me. Today's stew with a load of vegetables captivates me with its aroma.
The recipe comes from the TV programme "Three ways to prepare Polish pork" by Karol Okrasa. In all the ingredients there is ajvar, which is a slightly seasoned vegetable paste from Serbia, made with pepper, aubergines, tomatoes, garlic, vinegar and flavouring. If you don't like it, you may add tinned tomatoes and peppers fried in butter and. It is equally tasty but slightly less peppery.
Ingredients:
600g of pork shoulder
100g of smoked bacon
red pepper
2 gherkins
1 onion
4 cloves of garlic
150g of ajvar
