1
Wash the pork thoroughly with lime juice and vinegar, then drain and set aside.
2
Season the pork with salt and black pepper, then add jerk seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, paprika, crushed pimento seeds, green seasoning blend, browning, and fresh ginger in sequence.
3
Massage the seasoning and fresh herbs thoroughly into the pork with your hands, making sure every piece is well saturated.
4
Cover and refrigerate the marinated pork for several hours or overnight.
5
Heat a little cooking oil in a large pot, then add the marinated pork (removing the fresh herb pieces). Sear the meat until nicely browned on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
6
Return the herb-infused marinade liquid to the pot and add enough water to cover all the meat. Stir in the ketchup.
7
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 30–35 minutes until the pork is tender and the gravy is rich and thick.
8
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, add diced sweet bell pepper for color and extra flavor.
9
Serve hot with your choice of sides such as gungo rice and peas, fried chicken, steamed vegetables, garlic butter corn, fried plantains, and fresh salad.
