Instructions
For Curry Powder:
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add whole fennel, cumin, fennugreek, cloves and star anise, toasting lightly, approximately 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Combine toasted ingredients with the remaining spices in a spice grinder, clean coffee grinder or small high powered food processor and pulse until mixture is a fine powder. Allow dust to settle with lid on, then place into a bowl and set aside.
For Pork:
- Toss 1-inch pork cubes with kosher salt and pepper, equally coating.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Cook pork in batches to be careful not to overcrowd and nicely brown. It might take you 3-4 rounds to do it all. Add additional olive oil as needed. Set pork on a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. Set aside.
For Sauce:
- Fill a medium sauce pan with water and bring to a bowl. Set a medium mixing bowl filled with ice water to the side. Working in batches, plunge tomatoes into boiling water for 30-40 seconds or until you see the skin starting to pucker. Remove, using a knife, score a small "X" on the end and place in ice bath. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Skin should easily peel off. Coarsely chop, set aside with any tomato juice run-off.
- In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy bottom sauce pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced shallots, sautéing until soft, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and ginger and continue to cook until all vegetables are lightly browned, an additional 5 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and Kosher salt, tossing to combine and heat. Wait until mixture has become dry before adding remaining ingredients, stirring to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add curry powder and browned pork. At this stage, you might need to divide into 2 pots to accommodate the volume.
- Cook for 1 1/2 hours at 350, stirring occasionally. At 90 minutes, reduce temperature to 250 degrees for an additional hour.
- Fish out citrus peel sand cilantro stems.
- Serve over Cilantro-Lime Coconut Rice, top with fresh cilantro leaves, Maldon sea salt, fresh lime juice and garnish with grilled pineapple slices.
