Quick Pork Chili

This is a very quick pork chili that I can highly recommend for omlettes or 
even as a sauce.  Of course I kind of winged it so the recipe isn't exact, but
it worked out pretty well.  I think you can start with browning the pork first
then adding spices, but I did it the way the recipie is written and it worked
out pretty well.

3 strips thickly sliced pork belly or side of pork (uncured bacon cut)
   sliced crosswise thinly making strips about 1/8" wide
1/2 medium onion diced
1 clove garlic minced
pinch ground cumin
2 heaping Tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
1-2 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
salt
Oil for frying
1+ cup water (as needed)

In a pan over medium-low heat add about 1 tablespoon of oil, onion, garlic,
cumin and a pinch of salt.  Sweat the onions for about 5 minutes.

Add chili powder and stir to coat.  Add vinegar.  Add sugar, but if you are
a chili purist you won't want that - Fujiko likes it though.  Add a little
water to keep it from sticking or burning.  Add tomato paste.  Stir well.

Now you have to keep stirring constantly while adding water a little at a
time, keeping the sauce from getting too thick and burning.  You can use as 
much water as you need to keep the sauce thickness the way you want.  Once
the sauce starts getting smooth, 15 minutes or so, you can reduce or turn
off the heat.

In a fry pan over medium high heat, add a little oil to just coat the pan
and throw in all the pork at once.  Cook pork while stiring until most of the
pork juices are greatly reduced.  Spoon in a tablespoon of the chili sauce and
stir to mix well.  Cook until the mixture begins to thicken.  Add another 
tablespoon of chili sauce and repeat until all the chili sauce is all combined
with the pork.

Now you have a really great pork chili that can be used as a filling/topping
for a great omlette.  Eat it straight.  Cook it a little drier and you can use
it in a baked bread or as it is for a bread topping...  Use your imagination.

Great omlette: Whip up a couple of eggs for an omlette.  Fill omlette with
monterey jack cheese (or cheddar) and a few spoonfuls of the chili.  After
plating the omlette serve with chili on top!  Yummy!!!

If you want softer pork then start with cooking the pork in a pan, and then
follow the recipe from the top.  The longer you cook the pork the softer it
will be.
