Preparation
Season pork, both sides, generously with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat and brown meat all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, put the onion, peppers and chilli powder. Cover and sweat 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat, until onion is glassy.
Add cumin, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, sugar and almonds, and heat until fragrant.
Deglaze with chicken broth. Add tomatoes and chocolate. Bring to a boil.
Return the pork shoulder to the pot. Cover and simmer over low heat for 3 hours or so.
Just before serving, mix orange zest with grapes and coriander and sprinkle over meat.
Suggestion
During cooking, the meat should be sitting in liquid 3/4 up its sides. If there isn’t enough liquid, add chicken broth.* We recommend Selection and Irresistibles products.
