Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Blanch the diced pork shoulder in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Blanching helps to remove impurities and firm up the meat.
2
In a blender, combine the garlic, ginger, soaked dried red chilies, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon stick, and turmeric powder with a splash of palm vinegar to form a smooth paste.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to help the blending process.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
4
Add the chopped yellow onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not brown the onions; they should be soft.
5
Stir in the prepared spice paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the raw smell of spices disappears.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cooking the spices well is crucial for flavor development.
6
Add the blanched pork shoulder and mix well to coat with the spice mixture.
Aproximativ 3 min.
7
Pour in the remaining palm vinegar, add the grated jaggery and salt. Stir everything together.
Aproximativ 2 min.
8
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Aproximativ 1 oră 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: The pork should be very tender but not falling apart.
9
Add the diced pork liver to the pot, stir gently, and continue to cook for another 30 minutes, covered, until the liver is cooked through.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adding the liver later prevents it from becoming tough and overcooked.
10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Sorpotel should be tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet.
11
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired, typically with sanna (steamed rice cakes) or plain rice.
Nota bucătarului: Sorpotel often tastes even better the next day.
