This is a dish I started cooking a while back, which turned my girlfriend into a chilli head!
it’s super easy to make and tastes brilliant.
Serves 2-3 people
1 large onion
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil
4 small potatoes
1 red paprika, one yellow paprika (sliced).
Enough pork for 2 hungry people (I use roasting pork)
3 large habanero pods
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of fish sauce (I use ‘honstuyu’ which is like a soy sauce flavoured with smoked tuna)
4 tablespoons of natural yoghurt
Fresh basil
Black pepper to season
First start of by slicing the onions lengthways into strips, brown them off in a pan with olive oil. Once brown (I like to burn them ever so slightly) add the tomatoes and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or so.
Peel the potatoes and cut into quarters (smaller depending on the size of the potato). Boil them in salted water until slightly aldente.
cut the pork into strips and add to the tomato and onions, let it cook alone for 5 minutes before adding you paprika peppers.
Dice the habanero and garlic (I don’t de-seed). Mix in with the fish sauce and vinegar and add to the stew ten minutes before serving.
Roughly chop the basil and stir into the stew along with the yoghurt and the potatoes once you have turned the heat off from the stove. Add black pepper to taste
I'd love to add some fresh Corriander leaves to this, but i can't find any in Japan!
like I say, it’s extremely simple, but it works! (and luckily I usually have a little left over for the next day)
