Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork boneless shoulder
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 stalk lemon grass, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • Hot cooked rice, if desired
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Remove fat from pork. Cut pork into 2-inch cubes. In blender, place onion, garlic, gingerroot, turmeric and red pepper. Cover; blend on medium-high speed about 1 minute, stopping blender frequently to scrape sides, until smooth.
  • 2
    In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat oils over medium heat. Gradually and carefully pour blended mixture into oil (oil will spatter). Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3
    Stir in pork, tomatoes, lemon grass and fish sauce. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender. Serve over rice; garnish with cilantro.

  • In Myanmar (formerly Burma), where this dish originated, traditional curries include onion, garlic, gingerroot, chili peppers and turmeric.
  • Lemon grass is an interesting herb; it has the same citrus oil found in lemon peel. Both lemon grass and cilantro can often be found in the herb section of your grocer's produce department.
