kiwi's wild pork casserole

I have no idea where this should go, so chucking it here. I was thinking vaugely central american thoughts at the time, Tas feel free to move it to whatever section is appropriate. For now, it can just be a kiwi dish :)

I had a crowd to feed last night, so I got a shoulder of pork I'd killed out of the freezer, and decided to make a stew type thing when too many people showed up for the bbq skewers I was planning on. It was already halfway there though, I'd diced, browned, and sauced the pork, but in the end the meal was great regardless. It wasn't a big beastie, I all that much of the leg either, the rest I've saved for stir fry in portions in the freezer. Whole cuts are just too hard to deal with!

~1kg of diced wild pork
good dollop of homemade bbq sauce
peppers / chilli - I used a couple of cayennes diced fine, a couple of long, sweet orange peppers, a green bell pepper, and a couple of hungarian yellows.
2 onions, diced
Crushed garlic
~1.5T paprika, salt, pepper, ~1T cumin, ~1T ground corriander, pinch of cayenne pepper
frozen corn
chopped tomatos to cover in the pot
Half my glass of Irish red ale

I browned the pork in oil, then covered it in bbq sauce and put aside (thinking to make skewers!) then when the crowd showed up, I fried the onion, garlic, and spices together in the pan juices of the pork, then got out the dutch oven, chucked in the pork + onion etc, added a couple of handfuls of frozen corn, my peppers, and chopped tomatoes to cover, then chucked the pot in the oven under my roast spuds and kumara, for about half an hour, with a stir and a top of of beer from my glass halfway though.

Ended up delicious! although I hadn't planned on making this and it was a spur of the moment dish, I'll be making it again. The touch of spice from the cayennes / powder really helped cut through that strong wild pork flavour. Next time I'll take photos!

On the table with it were roast veges, kingfish steaks, venison, wild pork & mutton bratwurst, salad, and more beer than is good for us.

What Ron said Richard...sounds delicious.

Hey, tossed in flour, salt, and pepper, and chucked on the bbq hot plate (bbq implies gas fired thing in this part of the world) for a couple of mins a side. Served with a slice or two of lime. Yum! bit like this: http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/yellowtail-kingfish_topic571.html
