Ingredients: 2 teaspoons oil; 2 yellow onions, chopped; 3 garlic cloves, sliced thinly; 1 lb pork loin, not tenderloin (diced); 2 teaspoons sweet paprika; 1 teaspoon hot paprika; cayenne, to taste; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; 1 sprig fresh thyme, you can't use too much; 2 bay leaves; 1/4 cup dried red lentils; 1 1/2 cups stock, I prefer beef

Servings: persons

2 teaspoons oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
1 lb pork loin, not tenderloin (diced)
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon hot paprika
cayenne, to taste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 sprig fresh thyme, you can't use too much
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup dried red lentils
1 1/2 cups stock, I prefer beef

1
Heat dutch oven and oil. Brown the onion, garlic and pork for 4 minutes, adding both paprikas half way through.
2
Add the rest of the ingredients, bring up to a boil, reduce to a very low simmer and cover. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I don't add any, personally).
3
Let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This certainly can cook as long as you have the patience for. Check the level of liquid. If you use a tougher cut let it cook until it is falling apart. The lentils should be added the last 20 minutes.
4
Uncover pot and cook until thick to your liking (15 more minutes for me). It will thicken slightly off the heat -- I let it rest 10 minutes or so before serving.
5
Good garnishes include tomato slices, fresh lime, sour cream (I use #149831) and fresh parsley.
