Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Potatoes - 400 grams, diced
• Water - 250 ml

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add the pork shoulder to the pot, seasoning it with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sear the meat on all sides until browned.
3. Pour in the water, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes until the pork is tender.
