Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and dice the potatoes into cubes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

  2. 4

    Add the minced garlic and pork chunks to the pot. Cook until the pork is browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
