Aguadito Con Cerdo {Cilantro Pepper Pork Stew}

Aguadito is a Peruvian style soup (or stew) that is a great use for leftovers in the kitchen. In fact, it tastes better when you use leftovers. We usually make it with the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving, but you can also make an amazing version using leftover grilled meats from the barbeque, or don’t use leftovers at all. We made it the other day using pork loin and it was incredible. It’s got a deep flavor from the peppers and herbs, and the vegetables add a great fresh note. It’s hearty enough to serve as a main dish with the rice and meat/poultry and is so warming on a cold winter (or here, spring) day.

This is one of my husband’s specialties, and I’ll have to have him make it again so I can take proper notes and write out the recipe because I want to do it justice. Think of this as a sneak peak!
