In a heavy skillet, brown the pork over medium to medium high heat, add a little oil if needed. When the pork is brown, transferred to the large stock pot. Add the onion and more oil to the same skillet and sauté until the onions turn a golden brown, five to 10 minutes.at the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Transfer the mixture to the pot with the pork.
