Thank heavens the weekend is here finally! Time for all of us to relax, watch a movie, catch up on some reading and maybe some home cooked food. In the mood to cook anyone? Well, not really cooking but some really tasty Naga food . So let’s do an easy one 🙂

Have been craving for smoked pork for a while now – so that’s what we are cooking today! Seriously though – we’ve been sharing recipes on smoked pork since the beginning of R&L and it got us wondering how many of our readers actually have access to smoked pork. For us in Nagaland, we make them in our kitchens over the fireplace (yes – every kitchen have a fireplace out here).For all those living outside Nagaland – share with our other readers how you source these stuffs.

Now the recipe – Smoked Pork in mashed potato and fresh green peas.

Picture and recipe: Vilme

Ingredients:

1. 5-6 slices of smoked pork
2. 8-10 Green Chillies
3. 3 whole potatoes
4. 1 1/2 cup green peas
5. 250 grams Cherry Tomatoes
6. 6 tablespoons of wet (& fermented) bamboo shoot shreds
7. 2 cups of water
8. Salt to taste

2. Put the pork, chillies, tomatoes, potato, salt and bamboo shoot shreds in a medium size pot. Pour water and bring it to boil until its almost cooked.
