Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 300 grams, cut into cubes
• Smoked sausage (chorizo or linguiça) - 150 grams, sliced
• Bacon - 100 grams, diced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Red bell pepper - 1, chopped
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Beef broth - 500 ml
• Bay leaves - 2
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
2. In the same pot, add the pork shoulder cubes and brown on all sides. Once browned, remove and set aside.
3. Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the other meats.
4. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and bay leaves. Mix well for about a minute.
6. Return all the meats to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
7. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meats are tender and flavors meld together.
8. Season with salt to taste, remove bay leaves, and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
