Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork (cut into cubes)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 2 medium carrots (peeled and cut into chunks)
• 3 cloves garlic (peeled)
• 7 oz homemade tomato sauce (or jarred)
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 1/4 cups water
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Start by adding the olive oil to the Thermomix bowl and set it for 2 minutes at Varoma temperature. This will heat the oil to prepare it for sautéing the vegetables.

Next, add the onion, carrots, and garlic. Chop the vegetables for 4 seconds on Speed 4 to ensure they are nicely diced but not too finely chopped. If you prefer smaller pieces, feel free to blend for a few more seconds. Use a spatula to scrape down any bits sticking to the side of the bowl.

Step 2: Cook the Meat

Once the vegetables are sautéed, it’s time to add the cubed pork. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Then, pour in the homemade tomato sauce. Set your Thermomix to 5 minutes, Speed Spoon, Varoma temperature, and reverse direction to mix while cooking the pork.

Step 3: Deglaze with Wine

After mixing, add the red wine while keeping the lid slightly ajar to let the alcohol evaporate. Program the Thermomix for 10 minutes at Varoma temperature, Speed Spoon, and reverse direction. This crucial step enriches the flavor with a deep, savory taste.

Step 4: Cook with Water

Now, pour in the water and stir. Close the lid and set to 25 minutes at Varoma temperature, Speed Spoon, and reverse direction. This will ensure that the pork is cooked perfectly and the sauce thickens beautifully.

Step 5: Final Adjustments

Once the cooking time is up, taste the sauce and pork. If you’d like, adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper. For a thicker sauce, extend cooking time without the measuring cup to evaporate some liquid.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Now it’s time to enjoy your tender, juicy pork coated in a rich sauce. Serve it over a side of mashed potatoes, white rice, or crispy fries. And don’t forget to have some crusty bread on hand for dipping into that delicious sauce!

Additional Tips:

• Meat Variations: You can easily swap the pork for beef or even chicken if you prefer.
• Perfect Pairings: This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
• Freezing: You can prepare this dish ahead of time and freeze it. It maintains its flavor wonderfully and makes for a great quick meal on busy days.
