This is one of my FAVORITE dishes. It is well seasoned cubed pork-butt/ shoulder cubed or you can use any other cubed cut of pork with little cubes of Italian Squash or Mexican Squash your choice I prefer the Italian Squash it's larger and I think the color is prettier.
Ingredients:
-1 ½ pounds cubed pork (I use pork butt or shoulder it's my fave)
-6 large Italian Squashes or 12 medium to small Mexican Squashes (cut into small bite sizes by slicing the squash in half then cutting 3 long thick strips down and then cuting ½ inch thick slices across)
-4 large ripe tomatoes or 6 small roma tomatoes diced
-½ onion minced
-3 Serrano chili peppers minced finely and teeny
-2 cloves garlic minced finely and teeny
-Salt and Pepper to taste
-Cooking Oil (I use Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Canola Oil, or Lard (only for certain Mexican dishes that really need it) in my cooking traditionally one would use lard or corn oil you can use any edible oil you like)
-Water
-1 Cup chopped Cilantro
