Savory Pork Hash
This savory pork hash is inspired by traditional hearty breakfasts, transformed into a modern delicacy with its crispy golden-brown finish. It combines regional flavors with a hint of spice, making it perfect for brunch or a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder - cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin for added flavor
1 cup yellow onion - chopped finely
2 cloves garlic - minced
2 cups Russet potatoes - peeled and diced
1 teaspoon paprika - smoked for depth
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
0.5 teaspoon salt - to taste
0.5 cup chicken stock (chicken broth or chicken bouillon) - preferably low sodium
Garnish
2 tablespoons parsley - fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the pork cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook together for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often until the potatoes begin to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, checking occasionally to avoid dryness.
- Uncover and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate excess liquid while stirring the mixture frequently until nicely crisped, about 5-7 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a spicier twist, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or cumin. To speed up the caramelization of onions, add a pinch of sugar at the initial sauté.
