    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.

    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.
