Steps
Steps
- 1Heat the oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, toss the pork with 2 tbsp of the oil, half the paprika, savory and pepper and 1 tsp of the salt.
- 2Spread the pork in a large roasting tin, pour the wine and hot water around it, cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour, until the meat is almost tender.
- 3Meanwhile toss the potatoes, onions and garlic with the remaining oil, paprika, savory, pepper and salt.
- 4Take out the tin, lift off the foil and tuck the potatoes and onions between the pieces of pork, turning them in the tin juices.
- 5Lower the oven to 190°C and bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, turning everything once halfway, until the potatoes are tender inside and browned at the edges and the pork has a golden crust.
- 6If the tin dries out before the potatoes are done, add a few spoonfuls of hot water — the bottom should stay glossy, not scorch.
- 7Rest for 10 minutes and serve from the tin.
