Braised Pork In Orange Sauce Carne De Puerco A La Naranja Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot, add pork cubes and saute over medium-high heat until cubes start to brown, about 10 minutes.

Do not let caramel coloring burn.
• Add all the remaining ingredients except the flour and orange juice paste. Stir to mix well. Then add flour paste and mix well so there are no lumps in the sauce. Lower heat to barely simmering, cover pan and leave to cook 1 hour or longer, until pork cubes are tender and sauce is thick and unctuous.
