Ingredients: ground cumin, fresh ground black pepper...

"This is traditionally a vegetarian dish, but I needed to use up some leftover pork shoulder. You can use any cut of pork you wish, of course. I like to start this dish off with my favorite sofrito (Sofrito (Daisy Martinez)), but if you don't want to use that just start with a finely chopped onion. We like to puree the tomatoes in the food processor, but..."
