Pork in tomato sauce (magro con tomate)

Cubes of lean pork slowly stewed in tomato with onion, green pepper and garlic until the meat is tender and the sauce thick: a home and school-dinner classic in Murcia, Andalusia and Valencia. It's eaten with bread for the sauce, and sometimes with chips or white rice.

Method

  1. Season the pork with salt. Heat the oil in a casserole and brown the meat over a high heat in batches, about 8 minutes. Lift it out.
  2. In the same casserole, gently fry the onion, pepper and garlic over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until soft.
  3. Return the meat, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
  4. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf and sugar and stir.
  5. Cover and simmer over a low heat for about 45 minutes, stirring now and then, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Remove the bay leaf and serve the pork with bread to mop up the sauce.
