A Peruvian meal that my Japanese mother loved. This is her quick, altered version of the meal. Unfortunately she never measured the ingredients, so I always have to guess and taste-test this at every step. You can substitute ground turkey for pork if desired. I usually end up adding more cumin, garlic, and soy sauce right before serving.
Recipe Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- ½ (2 pound) package frozen diced southern-style hash brown potatoes
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- ¼ cup minced onion
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups hot cooked rice
Cooking Directions
- 1 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir pork, garlic, and cumin until pork is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork mixture, including oil, to a pot.
- 2 Mix potatoes, tomatoes, and onion into pork mixture; cook and stir over medium heat until potatoes are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Add enough soy sauce to color and season pork and potato mixture.
- 3 Stir parsley, oregano, and cilantro into pork and potato mixture; season with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked rice.
