Pork pozole

Ingredients:

Olive oil

1 whole white onion

4 garlic cloves, chopped into small pieces

400g of lean pork, chopped into cubes

6 brown mushrooms, chopped into pieces

0.5 cup of canned corn

1 green capsicum, chopped into pieces

3 teaspoons of cumin seeds

3 teaspoons of chilli powder

1 litre of chicken stock

1.5 teaspoon of coriander powder

Salt

Black pepper

Parsley

Instructions:

1) Heat some olive oil over medium heat in a skillet, then add garlic and white onions and fry until the garlic is slightly brown.

2) Add the pork cubes and stir fry continuously for around 8 minutes. If the mixture starts to dry up, feel free to add more olive oil.

3) Add the canned corn, mushrooms, cumin seeds, chilli powder, chicken stock, and coriander powder. Season with black pepper and just a bit of salt.

4) Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer at low heat for around 45 minutes. 

5) Sprinkle some parsley on top, and serve with either rice or bread.

Note: Feel free to substitute the cumin seeds with cumin powder, or the green capsicum with red or yellow capsicum. Remember to take it easy on the salt, because after simmering, a significant portion of the stock would have evaporated, so the remaining stock would be much more concentrated.
