HOW TO COOK THE PORK BITES AND BELL PEPPER SAUCE
Start by seasoning diced pork, then stir-fry in a hot skillet with oil and butter. Once the pork is done, remove to a plate, then saute the veggies in the same pan until crisp-tender. Add in fresh herbs and garlic, then pour in the cream and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the browned pork bites to the sauce and reheat for a couple of minutes. Easy!
DIRECTIONS
- To prepare the creamy pork bits, season the pork with paprika, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter melts.
- Once the skillet is heated, sear the pork bites for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and no longer pink in the center. If necessary, you may choose to cook in batches. Start off by not moving the pork bites around too much. They will steam if not. Place the pork morsels onto a heated platter and reserve.
- Cook the onion and bell pepper for three to four minutes over medium heat in the same skillet with the buttery cooking juices. Remove any
- crumbs from the meat with a wooden spoon.
- Once the vegetables are crisp-tender, add all of the crushed garlic, half of the thyme, half of the parsley, and Cayenne, if using; sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the cream and cook gently for 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. To taste, add more salt and pepper to the cream sauce.
- Return the pork bites to the cream sauce and cook it for a minute to ensure it is thoroughly heated. Serve the pork bites and creamy bell pepper sauce right away after adding the remaining herbs as garnish. Have fun! ❤️
TIPS FOR THE PORK BITES AND CREAMY BELL PEPPER SAUCE RECIPE
- Sear the pork bites letting them undisturbed for a while, so they develop these nice golden edges and lock in moisture. If you keep stirring, they won’t brown properly and will render a lot of water.
HOW TO KEEP THE PORK BITES LEFTOVERS
You can keep any pork leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove, adding a few drops of water to loosen the sauce.
