Method
Cut the pork1 into large pieces, the potatoes2 into wedges, and the onion3 into half-moons; finely chop the garlic4.
Heat the oil in a wide skillet and fry the potatoes2 for 12–15 minutes until golden and almost cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, fry the pork1 for 8–10 minutes over medium-high heat until browned.
Add the onion3 and garlic4 and fry for another 5 minutes until the onion softens.
Return the potatoes2, add the adjika, salt, and pepper, and stir.
Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the pork1 is tender and the potatoes2 are fully cooked.
Sprinkle with cilantro6, stir, and serve hot.
Tips
- Why it works
- Fry the potatoes separately so they form a crust and don't fall apart after mixing with the juices from the meat and onion.
- Substitutions
- Replace the pork neck with shoulder in the same amount, but cook 3–5 minutes longer. Instead of cilantro, use 12 g of parsley.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is putting the potatoes in a crowded pan. If the pieces lie in a heap and give off steam quickly, you won't get a crust.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan for 5–7 minutes under a lid, then 1–2 minutes without the lid for a crust.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with sliced tomatoes or cucumbers to cut the richness of the roast.
