Pork Giniling

Pork Giniling is an easy 1 pot meal that requires minimum prep work; pretty much cutting up onions, garlic, bell peppers, potatoes, and carrots. Giniling is a ground pork stew with a variety of vegetables in a sweet and spicy tomato sauce. The pork giniling also contains quail eggs and golden raisins. I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of raisins. Once eating this dish, I realized how much I like them in the giniling. They completely rehydrate from the sauce. They’re kind of like little balls of sweetness that pop when you eat them, adding another layer of texture. The quail eggs are my favorite part of the giniling. They add a nice creaminess to this dish and make me we to find more recipes to use them in.
