Rustic Panamanian Baked Pork Stew

Assemble the ingredients: pork, bell pepper, salt, stock, tomato, onion, garlic.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the pork and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Panamanian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Panamanian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
