Instructions
Add the pork, tomato, tamarind pulp, and water to the saucepan or Dutch oven.
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, until meat is tender.
Add the vegetables in the order listed, and give each vegetable 2 minutes each of cooking time.
Add the juice of one lemon, then season the dish with added salt as needed. Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy!
Notes
Try to use fresh vegetables as much as you can. However, frozen would be a great alternative, followed by canned.
Ask your butcher to slice the pork belly for you about 1" thick.
This recipe is so versatile, you can use all types of meat for this recipe, or omit them altogether.
For a clearer and less fatty soup, be sure to skim the scum off the top of the soup as you cook and simmer the dish.
