Welcome to the channel, today we will prepare pork tail guisado with vegetables.

Show the pork tails, noting they are great for sancocho.

Chop the pork tail into manageable pieces.

Add 15 pounds of pork tail to a bowl and season with oregano, red pepper, black pepper, and a touch of salt.

Mix the seasonings and let the pork tail marinate for a moment.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the marinated pork tail to the pot, allowing it to render its fat without stirring for about 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, flip the pork tail pieces to brown on the other side.

Add water to the pot, enough to cover the meat, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and cover, letting it simmer until the meat is tender, about 1.5 hours.

Skim off excess fat from the surface for a healthier dish.

Once the meat is tender, add the vegetables: carrots, celery, and onion, and let them cook down.

Add tomato sauce and more water if needed to maintain moisture.

Season to taste with salt and pepper as needed.

Let the mixture simmer until the vegetables are soft and the flavors meld, about 30 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
