Does the pork need to be cooked at all before doing this?
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 ????
mo DOCHERTYMonday 5th August 2019

Lovely and tasty but next time will boil the new potatoes for 5-10 mins as they were still hard at the end of the cooking time!

Skin on or off the potatoes please?
LindaSunday 4th March 2018
It’s lovely with the fresh tomatoes they go to mush anyway especially if you use ripe ones.
Really tasty recipe.
NikkiMonday 5th February 2018
Has anyone tried this with tinned tomatos instead of fresh? My family don’t really eat tomatos but will happily eat the tinned variety lol
