Preparation
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and lard.
- Add the bay leaves and coarsely chopped garlic cloves, and let them sauté for a bit.
- Add the peeled tomato (without its juice) and cook on low heat for a while.
- Then, add the tomato paste and white wine, and let it simmer for a few minutes on low heat.
- Remove the bay leaves and blend everything with a hand blender until smooth.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, add the piri-piri sauce to your liking, and mix in the cumin.
- Stir well and add the pork cutlets to the boiling sauce.
- Cook for a few minutes, then add a bit of water, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
- Let the pork simmer slowly in this liquid (I cooked it with the pot covered and on low heat), ensuring there's plenty of sauce.
- Add more water (and adjust the seasoning) if necessary.
- Serve hot, placing the sauce on the buns followed by the pork cutlets.
