Preparation
- Season the pork with salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper paste, wine, and broken bay leaves. Let it marinate overnight.
- The next day, cut the potatoes into cubes and fry them in oil until golden.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and lard. Add the pork (without the marinade) and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
- Add the drained mushrooms, stir, then pour in the reserved marinade. Cover and let simmer for 25 minutes, or until the meat is tender and most of the liquid has reduced.
- Lower the heat to a minimum, add the fried potatoes, and mix well.
- Stir in the chopped pickles, mix everything, and serve immediately.
