Ingredients

• 1kg pork chops
• 2 onions
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1kg sweet potatoes
• 1kg apples
• 10g salt
• 10g paprika

Steps

Preheat the oven to 200℃.

Trim the extra fat off the pork chops, but don’t get rid of it. Instead, dice the fat roughly and set it on the stove on low heat with a lid on. It will slowly render while you chop everything else.

Peel the sweet potatoes and apples. Dice them and the pork chops into roughly 1cm cubes, add them to a large mixing bowl. Mince the onions and garlic, add them to the bowl.

Check the pan on the stove. When the chunks of fat have turned golden and dry, take them off the pan and dispose of them. Pour the liquid fat on the pork and vegetables, season with salt and paprika, mix until everything is evenly coated.

Line a large tray with baking paper, spread the contents of the bowl onto the tray. Cook for 30m, use a wooden spoon to toss and turn everything, then cook for another 30m.

Notes

This dish freezes very well. Serve it with rice, quinoa or lentils. Add some mayonnaise or tomato sauce.
