Give your pork a special kick with this amazing Andalusian marinade and slow-cook it to perfection. It should fall apart at the merest touch of a fork.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg pork neck, chopped coarsely
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsps sweet smoked paprika
  • 2 tsps cayenne pepper
  • 5 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsps lemon juice
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) olive oil
  • 2 cured chorizo sausages, sliced thinly
  • 2 brown onions (400 g), sliced thinly
  • 2 red capsicums (400 g), sliced thickly
  • 1 cup (250 ml) salt-reduced chicken stock
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) sherry vinegar
  • ⅓ cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
01.

Combine pork with spices, garlic, juice, bay leaves and half the oil in large bowl; turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate overnight.
