Yes, they called them tacos. I adapted this recipe to my ingredients, keeping the spices nearly the same. The flat bread you serve them on is up to you unless you want to quickly make some tunnebröd - but then they might be Swedish tacos!
It is a bit time consuming so I would recommend cooking the meat up the day before.
It was delicious even if it is nothing like anything we call tacos here in the western US.
Brown over med-hi heat
1/2 Tb butter, just to coat the bottom of the pan
1 lb pork belly, cut into small strips or cubes
(you may need to do it in two parts if you do not have a wide, flat bottomed pan)
When there is no longer any pink, add
1 onion, chopped
1 t cumin, ground
1 t allspice, ground
1 t cloves, ground
Stir together and reduce heat to medium, cover and let cook 1-1/2 hours or so, stirring regularly.
When all the pork is crispy, add
1 Tb red wine vinegar
1 Tb honey
generous sprinkling of truffle salt
about 10 grinds of fresh pepper
Combine well and set aside.
Toppings
Combine
1/4 of head of cabbage, chopped
handful of cilantro, chopped
1 leek, white part, chopped
4 small red leaf lettuce leaves
sour cream
Place pork and toppings on top of
Flat bread like Lefse, tunnebröd (or maybe even a tortilla if you don't have anything else)
then roll or fold and enjoy.
B put some shredded cheese on top, but I didn't think it needed it.
I thought Dad would end up putting salsa or chili flakes on it but he never reached for them.
