Ingredients:

1lb (450g) lean pork (boned shoulder is good)
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp (1 oz?) lard
1 tbsp flour
1 green chilli pepper, de-seeded and chopped
2 large potatoes, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped

In the same pan make a roux with the lard and the flour, cooking it gently and stirring it all the time until it browns.

Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer until the potatoes are cooked.

Add salt to taste.
