Slow Cooked Pork and Orange

Slow Cooked Pork & Orange
Serves 2
Ingredients:

1 lb diced pork
1 onion thickly sliced
1 clove garlic finely chopped
2 oz sun dried tomatoes chopped
1 tbsp good quality marmalade
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 whole cloves
1 tin chopped tomatoes
2tsp tomato puree
1 green chilli whole (but prick skin so it doesn’t burst)
6tbs dry white wine or water

Method:
1. Heat oil in pan until hot. Now add the onion and garlic fry on medium heat for a few minutes till softened.
2. Now add the pork and continue to cook until the pork browns.
3. Add the chilli, marmalade, paprika and cloves and cook for a few minutes stirring to mix well.
4. Now add the wine bring to boil and add the tomatoes and puree and turn to simmer.
5. Place tight fitting lid on pan and cook in medium oven 180º for at least 1 hour better still 1 ½ hours.

Serve with brown rice or mash potatoes or try an onion and pepper salad and some crusty bread.
Notes:
Keep an eye on the liquid level whilst cooking! Do not allow to dry out you may need to add a little water.

The longer you cook this, the more reduced and concentrated the tomato and paprika becomes.

The chilli is of course optional. I used my own chillies in the original recipe that I had preserved in oil. I think Kashmiri dry chillies would go very well indeed with this dish.

Serve with a cold white wine
