Does the pork need to be cooked at all before doing this?

Reply

    Emma TTuesday 24th September 2019

    Hi Chelsea,

    We didn’t cook it first as it should cook in the same time as the potatoes take to cook through. You could brown it first if you wanted to, but this may cause the pork to become over cooked in the oven ????

Two tablespoons of paprika? Is that correct? Sounds like a lot! I’m also going to try it with tinned tomatoes.

Really tasty recipe.
