This minutal is made with diced cooked meat rather than mince as in the previous recipe. The stew has a distinct texture due to the fact that the meat was pre-cooked. Though it is quite possible to use raw pork and cook it in the stock, it would not produce an authentic minutal. Minutals tend to be sweet and sour in flavour and cumin is a common seasoning.
