Goan Pork Sorpotel

Sorpotel is basically the “no part of the pig gets left behind” kind of dish. It happily welcomes fatty pork, head meat, liver, and whatever other mysterious bits are hanging around, then simmers them all down with dried chillies, spices, and a very enthusiastic splash of vinegar. The result? A bold, tangy, spicy, deeply savoury party in a pot, where the vinegar somehow keeps everything from getting too wild (it tries its best, anyway). And here’s the real magic trick: sorpotel doesn’t just sit there, it improves with age. Today’s batch is delicious. Tomorrow it’s even better. By day three, it’s basically showing off.
