Danish pork with apples

Danish Pork with Apples is a traditional dish that combines intense and sweet flavors, highly valued in Nordic cuisine, especially in Denmark. Its origin dates back to rural recipes where pork and apples were accessible and complementary ingredients, creating a perfect balance between salty and sweet. In different Latin American countries, this dish may find similarities with recipes that integrate pork with fruits, although under other names or regional adaptations, such as "pork with apples" or simply pork stews with fruits. This preparation reflects the European influence on Latin American gastronomy and its ability to adapt to local products.

How to prepare Danish pork with apples

To begin, cut the pork into cubes and fry them in a skillet without oil until golden brown. Then, remove the pork and set it aside.

Next, slice the onions and fry them in the fat rendered by the pork in the skillet. After they are cooked, remove the onions and set them aside with the meat.

Subsequently, slice the apples and fry them "just right" in the skillet, covering it so they cook properly and maintain their juiciness.

Sprinkle sugar over the apples to achieve a sweet touch that contrasts with the flavor of the meat.

Finally, mix the pork and onions with the apples in the skillet, incorporating all the flavors.

This dish tastes delicious accompanied by dark bread or mashed potatoes, further enhancing its traditional, homestyle flavor.
