SPICY PORK AND CHILI-PEPPER GOULASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Get yourself a deep, ovenproof stew pot with a lid and heat it on the stove. Score the fat on the pork in a criss-cross pattern all the way through to the meat, then season generously with salt and pepper. Pour a good glug of olive oil into the pot and add the pork, fat side down. Cook for about 15 minutes on a medium heat, to render out the fat, then remove the pork from the pot and put it to 1 side.
• Add the onions, chili, paprika, caraway seeds, marjoram or oregano and a good pinch of salt and pepper to the pot. Turn the heat down and gently cook the onions for 10 minutes, then add the sliced peppers, the grilled peppers and the tomatoes. Put the pork back into the pot, give everything a little shake, then pour in enough water to just cover the meat. Add the vinegar - this will give it a nice little twang. Bring to the boil, put the lid on top, then place in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
• You'll know when the meat is cooked as it will be tender and sticky, and it will break up easily when pulled apart with 2 forks. If it's not quite there yet, put the pot back into the oven and just be patient for a little longer!
• When the meat is nearly ready, cook the rice in salted, boiling water for 10 minutes until it's just undercooked, then drain in a colander, reserving some of the cooking water and pouring it back into the pan. Place the colander over the pan on a low heat and put a lid on. Leave to steam dry and cook through for 10 minutes - this will make the rice lovely and fluffy.
• Stir the sour cream, lemon zest and most of the parsley together in a little bowl. When the meat is done, take the pot out of the oven and taste the goulash. You're after a balance of sweetness from the peppers and spiciness from the caraway seeds. Tear or break the meat up and serve the goulash in a big dish or bowl, with steaming rice and your flavored sour cream. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped parsley and tuck in!

PORK GOULASH

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and fry the pork for 5 minutes or until browned. Remove and set aside. Use the remaining oil to fry the onions for 8-10 minutes or until soft and starting to brown. Add the garlic and paprika and fry for another 2 minutes.
• Return the pork to the pan and pour in the stock, tomatoes and sugar. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
• For the dumplings, combine all the ingredients, except for the oregano, with enough cold water to make a scone-like dough. Roll into approximately 30 walnut-sized balls.
• Stir the peppers into the goulash. Tuck in the dumplings and cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 25-30 minutes until the dumplings are puffed up.
• Serve scattered with oregano.

BEEF GOULASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170°C/Fan 150°C/Gas 3½. Trim any hard fat off the beef and cut the meat into rough 4cm chunks. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish. Add the steak and fry over a high heat until nicely browned all over, turning regularly. Tip the onions into the pan and cook with the beef for 5 minutes until softened. Add the crushed garlic and cook for a further minute, stirring regularly. Sprinkle both paprikas over the meat and crumble the beef stock cube on top. Add the water, tomatoes, tomato purée and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and transfer the dish to the oven. Cook for 1½ hours. While the beef is cooking, remove the core and seeds from each pepper and chuck them away. Cut each pepper into chunks of about 3cm. When the beef has cooked for 1½ hours, carefully remove the dish from the oven. Stir in the peppers, put the lid back on and put the goulash back in the oven for a further hour or until the beef is meltingly tender. Serve with small portions of rice (see pages 178-179) and spoonfuls of soured cream if you like, but don't be too generous - soured cream contains less fat than double cream but still has 30 calories per tablespoon!

PORK AND PEPPER GOULASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion for 3 minutes or until translucent. Mix in the paprika and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the garlic and pork in to the pan and cook until the pork has browned. Stir in the plain flour and mix to cover the pork.
• Stir in the tomato purée, tinned tomatoes and pork stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in the chopped roasted red peppers and cook for a further 10 minutes. The pork should be tender and cooked through. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and stir through. Serve with a spoonful of soured cream.

JAMIE'S 15 MINUTE PORK STEAKS, HUNGARIAN PEPPER SAUCE AND RICE

Steps:

• The key to 15 minute meals is to have everything ready before you begin.
• because we're using ordinary brown rice we need to get that going first, though.
• Place the brown rice in a microwave safe container with 800ml boiling water, cover, vent and microwave for 25 minutes.
• Now: * Ingredients out, * Food processor (thick slicer), * Large casserole pan, medium heat, * Medium Iidded pan, medium heat, * Griddle pan, high heat
• START COOKING
• Deseed the peppers, peel and halve the onion, trim the carrot, trim and quarter the fennel (reserving any leafy tops), then slice them all in the processor with the apple.
• Put 2 tablespoons of oil into the casserole pan, tip in the sliced veg, add the paprika and bay leaves, squash in the unpeeled garlic through a garlic crusher, season with salt and pepper, and fry, stirring regularly.
• Slice the pork into medallions, flatten them slightly with your fist, then rub with salt, pepper, the ground coriander and 1 teaspoon of oil, then put on the griddle pan until cooked through, turning when nicely charred.
• Add the balsamic and passata to the peppers, season to taste and bring to the boil.
• Sprinkle the rice with an extra dusting of paprika. Dress the rocket in the bag with the lemon juice and a small pinch of salt, then fold most of it through the sauce. Tip the sauce on to a platter, place the charred pork on top and scatter with the remaining rocket. Drizzle with the yoghurt, scatter over any reserved fennel tops and serve with the fluffy rice.
