Steps

1 Done	RENDERING THE PORK FAT Add the chopped pork into a pan and set it on a cooker with medium to low heat. This prevents the meat chunks from sticking to the pan before it renders all its water and fat. 5 minutes later, the rendered water should be drying up and the fat starting to render. Turn up the heat and keep stirring till the pork attains a deep golden color. In about 7 minutes, most of the fat should be rendered. If it’s too much, drain it out into a separate pot.
2 Done	FRYING THE PORK With the heat still set to high, add the red onion to the pork. Keep stirring till the onions get soft and fragrant before adding the chilis. If you drained all the fat and the pork starts drying up, add some of that which you set aside. Stir again to ensure everything has melded nicely before adding some Worcestershire sauce and salt to taste. Allow to cook on medium heat for a further 5 minutes and your pork is ready!
3 Done	MAKING THE UGALI Boil water in a pot till it is bubbly the add maize flour. Thoroughly mix it till you end up with a very thick and consistent lump of maize meal, then lower the heat to medium and cover the pot. Allow it to cook undisturbed f0r 3-5 minutes before shaping it nicely for that convex finishing and flipping it over. Don’t rush it. The ugali will communicate once it’s done via it’s aroma.
4 Done	KACHUMBARI Chop up one onion into rings then soak it in salty water for about 5 minutes to remove the unpleasant properties of raw onion. While the onion soaks, chop up two tomatoes into fine rings. You may add chilis tuu but that's completely optional. Once the onions are done sitting, rinse them out them mix them with the onions and chili in one bowl. You may sprinkle a dash of salt and/or lime juice to enrichen the flavors!
5 Done	SERVING Your meal is now ready to serve. Plate and pair with a side of your choice. I went with kachumbari for this recipe. Try the recipe and share your results. I’d love to see what you guys whip up.
