Paprika potato cubes with oven-roasted pork

Meat - Paprika potato cubes with oven-roasted pork by Demetra A. - Recipia

Paprika potato cubes with oven-roasted pork: the pork leg slices cook slowly in the oven, the paprika potatoes brown in a pan, and the zucchini comes off the grill. It’s a meal of tender meat, seasoned potatoes and zucchini slices with browned grill marks. I always put a few slices of zucchini next to the potatoes and pork. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 69 minutes. Rest: 8 hours and 30 minutes. Total time: 10 hours and 4 minutes. Servings: 4. About 620 kcal and 42 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the pork

  • 800 g pork leg slices
  • 60 ml soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili
  • 50 ml white wine
  • 1 teaspoon oil

For the potatoes

  • 800 g potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 garlic clove

For the zucchini

  • 2 medium zucchini (600 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white truffle oil

Preparation

1. Mix the pork with 60 ml soy sauce, 50 ml white wine, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon chili. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 8 hours. 2. Take the meat out of the fridge and leave it for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Put it in a roasting pan with all the marinade and 1 teaspoon oil. Roast at 160°C for 45 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and browned. 3. Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes and mix them with 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan, add the crushed garlic clove and fry it briefly, then take it out and discard it. Add the potatoes and fry for 15 minutes, stirring, until browned and tender. 4. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin slices and sprinkle them with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Brush the hot grill with 1 teaspoon white truffle oil and cook the slices for 3 minutes on each side, until browned grill marks appear.

Notes

Serve the meat with the potatoes and zucchini, all on the same plate. For me, the combination is a little like steak and chips, only the zucchini comes with grill marks. If you don’t have white truffle oil, use 1 teaspoon olive oil. Thicker pork leg slices may need a few extra minutes in the oven, and the potatoes brown more evenly when the cubes are close in size. Older zucchini with large seeds can be more watery, so choose firm ones. The potatoes are the part I tend not to rush, because they need time to brown and soften inside. Keep leftovers in the fridge and eat them within 3 days; soy sauce may contain gluten, so check the label.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the pork leg with pork neck?

Yes, use 800 g as well, but leave the pork neck at 160°C for about 55 minutes, until it’s cooked through.

How big should the potato cubes be?

Cut them to about 2 cm; much larger cubes may stay firm in the middle after 15 minutes of frying.

Can I use new potatoes?

Yes, new potatoes work well too. Cut them into cubes about 2 cm across and check them after 12 minutes, since they may soften faster.
