Jamaican Style Pork Stew
4 Tsp. olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 lb. cubed pork loin
2 Tsp. flour
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 Tsp. (light or dark) rum
2 (16 oz.) cans tomatoes, drained and crushed
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
2 cups beef broth
4 small new potatoes, diced
2 Tsp. dark molasses
salt (to taste)
cooked rice (optional)
Heat oil in pan. Dust pork with flour and brown in oil, a few pieces at a time. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
Saute onion and garlic 5-6 minutes. Add rum and cook over high heat one minute, scraping up any browned bits. Return pork to skillet. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, pepper, allspice, and beef broth. Mix well. Bring to a boil and add potatoes. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 40-60 minutes.
Remove cover and simmer 10 minutes more to thicken sauce, if necessary. Stir in molasses and season with salt to taste. Serve plain or over rice.
