Paprika Pork in a Pot

Ingredients

  • 3 onions thinly sliced
  • 600g pork fillet
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 300ml/1/2 pint chicken or vegetable stock
  • 100ml crème fraîche (about half a tub)

Method

  1. Warm 2 tbsp oil in a pan, then add the sliced onions. Fry them for 10-15 minutes, giving an occasional stir, until they have softened and taken on a light colour.
  2. Slice the pork fillet into large pieces. Add these to the pan and stir to seal and brown them on all sides. Mix in the paprika, let it cook for a moment, then pour in the stock and bring everything to a boil.
  3. Put a lid on the pan and cook for 30-35 minutes, until the pork is tender. Stir through the crème fraîche and let it simmer for another 2 minutes. (You can complete the recipe up to this stage up to 2 days in advance or freeze it for up to 3 months.) If available, a sprinkling of chopped chives or parsley adds a fresh touch before serving alongside rice and a green vegetable like broccoli or stir-fried cabbage.
