food Trinidad Pork Stew

BOOM.
 
Meat still looks tender and THP's little sheen bubbles are glistening ...
 
Hold the soapy greens for me, though ... I've got that marker ...
My wife hates stew for the most part and swears this was the most tender and best stew she has ever had....said it needed to be in a restaurant. This is the first time I have broken down a pork shoulder and it was well worth it!
 
I'm w/ her on goulash and stews etc ... on. the. ground.
 
Sometimes Danielle would over do it w/ the veggies and our curry would turn into goulash ... much to my dismay ...
 
That doesn't look like that, though ... that looks like slow meat on rice w/ a nice fatty jus ... I'm down.

I highly suggest doing it and I can share my tweaks that made it over the top IMO. 
 
Looks good!!! What rice do you recommend? Would coconut rice be too much? Did you use coconut milk in the stew?
 
Thanks!

I did not use coconut milk and it would be great in there but change in completely into more of a curry. I ate mine of basmati rice to allow the stew to sing. I was going to use jasmine but felt it would be too sweet. 
 
That's weird I don't find jasmine sweet, to me it's more like regular white rice with a floral (jasmine) aroma . Basmati I find has the stronger profile, the nutty slightly buttery taste, aroma of popcorn.
 
As long as it works!
 
I'd it that chit over a mound of Success Rice.

PS - That stew looks stellar and I think basmati is the best choice.   :)
 
I love it I just can't eat it with Thai food, it tastes "wrong" since I am so used to jasmine.
 
Not that that was Thai! Just sayin'.
 
What rice you use for Jamaican rice and peas?
