Ingredients
  • Olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 or 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 - 1 1/2 lbs pork, cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cocoa
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 2-3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (or not seeded, if you prefer)
  • small handful chopped cilantro

Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat.
  2. Add onion and garlic, and saute for about 3 minutes, then add the pork.
  3. Saute for a few minutes and get the pork nicely browned.
  4. Stir in the next 8 ingredients (cumin through red pepper) and stir constantly for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the beef broth and scrape up all the good bits on the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the tomato paste, chickpeas, tomatoes and jalapeno, bring to a boil.
  7. Cover, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes.
  8. Stir in cilantro.
  9. Serve up with a healthy dollop of sour cream or my preference, Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Mmmmm fabulous, Elle :) I like the idea of using leftover pork chunks, and getting a touch of beef flavour out of the broth. Like the chickpeas too :) Great post -- fantastic pic!! (Got me hungry...)


Thanks, Kukla!
