Geera pork
Geera pork
Geera pork, also known as Cumin pork, is a flavorful dish that originates from Trinidad and Tobago. It’s a combination of marinated pork pieces cooked with aromatic spices such as cumin, turmeric, coriander, and other seasonings.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- Fresh cilantro leaves optional, for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a dry skillet, toast the cumin seeds over medium heat until fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly. Grind the cumin seeds into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground cumin, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, and salt. Mix well to create a spice rub.
- Add the cubed pork to the bowl and toss to coat the meat thoroughly with the spice rub. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for a more intense flavor, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become soft and translucent.
- Add the marinated pork to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired, and serve the Geera pork hot with lime wedges on the side.
