INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ kg pork meat
  • 2 apples (1 red, 1 green)
  • 2 bell peppers (red, orange)
  • 4 onions
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 80 g barbecue sauce (bbq sauce)
  • 100 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 1300 ml water
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint

For Serving

  • Tacos
  • Burger buns
  • Fresh parsley
  • Avocado
  • Tomato
  • Cucumber
  • Pickles
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Yogurt

METHOD

  1. Slice the apples thinly, cut the onion into quarters, and slice the peppers into strips (julienne). In a non-stick pot, add a little olive oil, the apples, onions, peppers, salt, and nutmeg. After mixing well, add the honey and balsamic vinegar, stir, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Remove our mixture from the heat and place it in a bowl. Cut the pork into 5 cm thick slices and season with salt and pepper. In the non-stick pot, add olive oil and sauté the meat, 2 minutes on each side. Add the water, stock cube, a little salt, dried mint, and the apple mixture, and simmer for about 3 hours. Open the pot every half hour and check on the food. If it needs a little water, add some.
  3. After 3 hours, the meat will have absorbed almost all the water and will be tender. Turn off the heat and start shredding the meat with a wooden spoon. Finally, pour in the mustard and BBQ sauce and mix very well. Serving suggestions: In burger buns with cheese, tomato, pickles, and BBQ sauce. In tacos with yogurt, avocado, and cucumber.
