Fiery Peruvian-Style Pork
Fiery Peruvian-Style Pork balances tangy vinegar and sweet orange juice with warm cumin, earthy turmeric, and a hint of garlic for a bright, aromatic bite. The pork turns tender and juicy as it simmers, with a lightly thickened sauce that coats each piece. Serve it for a cozy weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering alongside rice, potatoes, or warm tortillas.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Move the pork to the hot skillet, keeping the marinade. Cook in the hot oil until the outside is nicely browned. Add the orange juice, 1/2 cup water, the onion, and the reserved marinade. Lower the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the pork is fork tender, about 30 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
