Pork Stew in Tomato Sauce Recipe

There is always a first time for everything. Like the first time my uncle asked me if I liked beer. “Huh… Let’s then go out and drink a beer together”. I remember my uncle took me to a bar in the city center of Cáceres, unfortunately I cannot remember exactly where, but there we ordered our first beer. With this beer, the waiter served us a big tapas of pork in tomate sauce and topped with homemade fries. It was very good !
