Savory Pork Mince and Potatoes
This hearty dish draws inspiration from rustic European fare, providing a perfect blend of rich pork mince with the comforting texture of tender potatoes. A modern twist with spices elevates this classic combination, making it a standout on any dining table.
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork mince - preferably from organic, pasture-raised pigs
2 potatoes - peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1 cup yellow onion - finely chopped
3 cloves garlic - minced
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
¼ cup chicken stock- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley - chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and add the pork mince. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Ensure the mince is breaking up into small pieces.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, followed by the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Pour in the chicken stock, lower the heat to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
- Remove the lid, increase the heat slightly, and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate and for the potatoes to take on a slight golden edge.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the smoked paprika. For a lighter dish, you can substitute ground turkey for pork mince.
