Puerco con Calabasa

Ingredients

• 1 inexpensive cut boneless pork, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 medium size onion, chopped
• Several cloves garlic, chopped
• Several ears fresh corn, with kernels removed from the cob
• Several fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 2 medium size zucchini, chopped
• Few tablespoons oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cumin seeds
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Cooked rice

Instructions

1. Sauté the garlic with the onions in a few tablespoons of oil in a deep pot. Add the pork and brown, being sure to cook through.
2. Add cumin seeds. Add about 2 cups of water to the pot. Throw in the corn, tomatoes and zucchini. If you don't have fresh corn or tomatoes, frozen corn and the flavored stewed tomatoes work well. Cook all of this covered on low heat for about 2 hours.
3. Uncover while making rice and let the liquid reduce a little.
4. Now add salt and pepper to taste. If the salt is added too early, it may get too salty as the liquid cooks off. Add the cilantro if you like it.
5. Serve over hot cooked rice.
