Pork Sale ek Lantir

    This recipe was one of my favorites of the bunch. It was simple, and creamy, and meaty, and just delicious. The lentils accented with the pork worked together so perfectly that it was a dish that I think everyone will love. This recipe was also courtesy of The Creole Melting Pot. 

Lentil Recipe

6 country-style pork ribs

2 Tbsp. oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 Pork bouillon cubes

1 1/2 c. red lentils

1 onion, chopped

2 tsp. ginger paste

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. turmeric powder

Black pepper

Heat the oil, once it's hot add the pork ribs and sear on all four sides. Remove the pork from the pan and add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger paste and cook until fragrant. Add the pork, bouillon, red lentils, black pepper, and 5 cups of water to the pan. Simmer gently, stirring frequently and adding more water as needed. 

The lentils are ready when the pork can be shredded easily and the lentils are broken down and creamy. Shred the pork and stir back into the lentils. 

Serve with rice or flatbread.
