My Uncle Bill was the best cook ever! Well, that's what I though while growing up anyways. He used to make what HE called a Bulgarian stew , and being he was from Bulgaria maybe it truly was. One thing it is for sure is delicious. This is perfect for a cold day and goes great with baked potatoes and his Bulgarian Salad . Also, make sure you have some fresh Italian or French bread to sop up the juice in the bottom of the bowl...MMMMM good! Ingredients:
1 lb boneless pork, either sliced in strips or cubed |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 small onion |
1 small green bell peppers or 1 small other color bell pepper |
