- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 53 min
- Makes: 1 serving (442 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: High protein, Low carb
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, gluten, pork, sulphite
Ingredients
- 160 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 20 g Bacon, raw
- 40 g Onions, raw
- 80 g Mushrooms, white button, raw
- 60 g Tomatoes, canned, crushed
- 1.5 g Paprika
- 8 g Flour, all-purpose
- 30 g Wine, white
- 30 g Sour cream
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 1 g Salt
- 8 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and dice the bacon; fry both in the oil over medium-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the paprika and flour and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the mushrooms, crushed tomatoes and white wine, and simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Season with the salt, then stir in the sour cream and warm through gently without letting it boil hard.
- Scatter with chopped parsley and serve hot; it is traditionally finished briefly in a clay dish, though a stovetop pan works just as well.
