Ingredients for Fragrant pork with vegetables and dried apricots

Step by step instruction of cooking Fragrant pork with vegetables and dried apricots

Шаг 1

Pork is better to choose not too greasy – I have this time was the neck, but best of all, this dish is more dry meat. Zucchini choose small – mine was too big, had to cut a piece with a length of about 25 cm. If the large squash seeds – removed, if the skin is thick and very hard – clean.

Шаг 2

Zucchini and peppers cut into small cubes (approximately 1x1 cm), leeks – rings. Dried apricots soaked in warm water for a few minutes. Important – do not let the apricots soak much, in fact, I did and all without soaking it – the taste is not affected. But overseasoned in water dried apricots can spoil the result.

Шаг 3

In a deep frying pan heat the oil.
1. In very hot oil over high heat fry the meat on all sides until Golden brown – about 5 minutes. Watch, that not burnt!
2. To the meat add the zucchini cubes and fry, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes.
3. There also send sweet pepper and onion. Fry for another 2-3 minutes.

Шаг 4

Meat with vegetables, add diced dried apricots (I cut each apricot lengthwise into three parts). Pour a glass of broth (here it is made from scraps of meat that went into the dish, but you can take any meat, vegetable broth or bouillon), add a spoon of soy sauce and the zest of half a lemon. Diminish the fire, stir and cover with a lid. Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Шаг 5

No spices and salt I do not add. One day, instead of pepper I got a bitter "werewolf" - from my point of view, the taste suffered from this. But You can experiment with spices or add other vegetables – but only those who do not give a lot of juice. No need to add salt – the soy sauce itself is quite salty.
And yet - I usually serve this dish as a main, but if you feel that you need the side, the perfect couple would be boiled rice.
