Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes, canned
• 14 ounces Coconut milk, full-fat
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit Lime, cut into wedges
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the pork cubes in batches, searing them until browned on all sides. Remove browned pork and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, reducing the heat to medium. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add curry powder, ground cumin, and coriander, stirring constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and water, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Return the browned pork cubes to the pot, along with any accumulated juices.

Step 8

Stir in the coconut milk and salt, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the curry simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the sauce is thickened.

Step 10

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges on top or on the side.
