Pork & Zucchini

Another one of my Grandpa's recipes that I can never stop eating. My mom used to make this when I was younger and I despised zucchinis, so this was not my favorite meal to say the least. Now, being a zucchini lover, this is one of my favorite cozy recipes. I like to serve this with a side of steamed rice and refried beans with a fresh flour tortilla.

Ingredients

1 lb pork loin, cubed

1 tsp oil

1/2 C onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small can tomato sauce

Zucchini

1/2 tsp Mexican oregano

1/2 C shredded cheese

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and begin to fry the meat. 

Once browned on all sides, add the onion and garlic. Continue cooking until the meat is fully cooked.

Add water to cover the meat and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, uncovered, for about an hour or until the meat is tender.

*Within this hour, make sure the meat is always covered with water. You will need to add water a few times.

Slice your desired amount of zucchini 1/4 inch wide.

Once your meat is tender, let the water boil down until there is about 1/2 inch of water left in the pan.

Add the tomato sauce, zucchini & oregano (make sure to crush the oregano up with your fingers before adding). Continue cooking until zucchini are tender.

Sprinkle cheese over the top and serve once melted.
