Cooking Inspiration

Cooking Idea

Ingredients

olive oil, for frying
1 large onion, finely chopped
600g pork cheeks, excess fat trimmed and cut in half
1 tbsp flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
2 fat garlic cloves, crushed
½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
150ml medium dry sherry
500ml beef stock
a handful of flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked
100g toasted flaked almond

Method

STEP 1
Heat 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan then add the onion. Cook gently for 10 – 15 minutes until softened and lightly coloured. Remove and set aside.

STEP 2
Toss the cheeks in the seasoned flour. Add a little more oil to the pan and turn up the heat. Brown the pork cheeks all over in batches. Turn the heat down to medium.

STEP 3
Return all the pork and the reserved onions to the pan. Add the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for a minute, then pour in the sherry. Use your spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan and mix in all the flavours.

STEP 4
Pour in the beef stock then bring the pan to a simmer. Simmer gently for 2 hours or until the cheeks are tender.

STEP 5
Scatter with parsley leaves and flaked almonds. Serve with rice or buttery mashed potato.
