CULINARY CORNER Pork Sorpotel
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Pork Sorpotel
I have used only the meat/liver in the past and it turned out fine.
2 lbs pork meat, 1/2 lb. pork liver, 1/2 lb.heart, 1/2 lb. tongue, 1/2
lb. kidney and 1/2 lb. ear, 12 dried red chilies, 12 peppercorns, 12 cloves
garlic, 1 inch ginger, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 8 cloves, 2 one-inch pieces
cinnamon, 1/4 cup Goa vinegar or any strong vinegar will do, 1/2 cup
vegetable oil, 1/4 cup coconut feni (optional), 3 cups water, Salt to
taste, 1 tsp sugar, (according to your taste) or 1/2 tsp is fine, 6 green
jalapenos (fresh chili), 4 medium onions - chopped fine
Method: Wash and pat dry the meats. Immerse all the meat in a pan with
water on medium heat. Cover the pan and parboil the meats, (approx. 20
minutes). Cool and dice the meats fine. Keep aside the leftover
stock. Grind all the spices including vinegar into a fine paste; do
not include the jalapenos and onion in this paste. Heat the oil in a
deep pan on medium heat and lightly fry all the diced meat until
lightly browned.
Add the ground spices/vinegar paste to the pan and continue cooking for
5 minutes. Add salt to taste, coconut feni, any remaining vinegar,
chopped onions, jalapenos, sugar and the broth of the boiled meat. Lower
the heat and let the sorpotel simmer for 45 minutes or more. Tak! e
care to stir it occasionally. When the oil comes to the top and the
sauce is thick, remove from the heat.
Remember that this recipe tastes better on the 2nd day and a few days
thereafter, make sure it is heated well on the day it is served. It is
customary to serve sorpotel with sannas for special occasions.
