Preparation
Step 1
You can use pork from any part of the carcass. A good option is ham, neck, or tenderloin, since these cuts don’t have much fat (some none at all). Use as much onion as you like - I prefer plenty for a richer sauce.
Step 2
Rinse the pork under running water, then pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the meat into medium-sized pieces.
Step 3
Heat a skillet until hot, pour in a little vegetable oil, and add the pork pieces. Fry until lightly browned.
Step 4
While the meat is frying, prepare the onions. Peel them, rinse in cold water, then cut into half-rings. No need to chop finely - while braising, they will shrink and soften.
Step 5
Add the prepared onions to the meat and stir everything together. Fry the onions with the pork for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened.
Step 6
Pour a little hot water into the skillet. Season with salt and spices to taste (black pepper and dried herbs work well). Cover with a lid and braise the pork with onions over low heat for about 20 minutes. Adjust the water depending on how much gravy you want.
Step 7
During braising, some water will evaporate, and the meat will become tender. You can stop here, but if you want thicker gravy, mix some flour with water in a separate glass and pour it into the skillet. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Braised pork with onions is ready! It pairs perfectly with any side dish. Enjoy!
