Estofat de porc amb prunes – a Catalan recipe

Brown the meat in batches in olive oil and set aside. Fry the finely chopped onions and garlic in the same oil and deglaze with the brandy. Add the tomatoes and the meat. Season sparingly with salt and a bay leaf, add a little water, and simmer for about 45 minutes (up to 1 hour is fine). Add the prunes and simmer for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry pan and add them as well. Finally, season the sauce with saffron, pepper, and a little cocoa powder. In Catalonia, this sauce is served with white bread.
