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.
