Hey guys,thought I'd post this.I made it today and it was delicious.Plus it's very very simple and you can add your own extra seasonings to your liking.
What you need
Pork Stew Bone
Salt(preferably Seasoned Salt)
Pepper(I used red pepper but any pepper will do)
Ginger(it's the most important ingredient)
Onions
Raw, cut up Bacon(this is optional but it gives a special flavor to it)
Any form of Stock.
What you do
After defrosting the pork stew bone,place it in a large bowl.cut the onions and ginger however you like,just make sure to take the skin off the ginger.There really isn't a particular amount you need,just however much you prefer of the ginger and onion.Ginger has some carbs so weigh it and check it on ebay.It also has fiber,so not too bad.Set the chopped items aside,and season the pork stew bone with the salt and pepper.Pour a good bit of olive oil over it,and mix it together in the bowl.Make sure every single pork stew bone is well covered with the seasoning and olive oil.Lastly,mix in the onions and the ginger.Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinade overnight.Or if not overnight,for a couple of hours.
Cooking Part
Place a deep pot(pretty large if you can manage)on the stove and fill it with either vegetable oil or olive oil,your choice.The meat is just being sautied in the oil,so a few tablespoons should do it.The deep pot is for the soup if you are making it.
.I find that because olive oil has it's own distinct taste,it might overshadow the taste of the stew but it's up to you.When it's hot enough,add the whole marinaded mixture and fry the pork stew bone until brown.It doesn't have to be thoroughly cooked.Add the bacon and stock at this point.This is where you decide whether you want a stew or a soup.Me personally,I made a soup,and it was delicious,but the stew will work just as well.If you want it to become a stew,you have to add less stock and simmer for longer.Cover the pot and let it simmer for about half an hour to an hour on low heat.What we want is to get the flavor of the ginger and the bacon within the pork.Also,slow simmering on low heat will make the meat very tender.Taste it periodically to ensure that there's enough seasoning in it.Enjoy with some fauxtatoes,or you can have soup and a salad for lunch or dinner.That's what I'm doing.
P.S the great thing about this is that you can add anything to it to make it to your personal liking.If I had some vegetables I would have added it to make it a vegetable soup,but I didn't have anymore left.
The Origin
I was born in Ghana and when I was younger,we were allowed to leave the school premise for lunch,so my friends and I would go to this particular place where we would always order the soup above.It was delicious with rice or fufu.When I came here,I always wanted to make it but couldn't figure out that last ingredient that made the soup taste so good.Today,I decided to add ginger to it and discovered that that was the secret ingredient all along!!!!It really brought back memories because it taste exactly how it tasted back in Ghana.
P.S this is my first time posting a recipe so if anyone gets the chance to make it please let me know how it turns out
