How to Make Andalusian Pork

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons olive oil until a thick paste forms.
  2. Place 1.5 lbs pork loin (or shoulder) in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Spread the paprika paste evenly over the pork, ensuring it's fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Once at room temperature, cut the pork into 1/2-inch thick slices on the diagonal.
  4. Heat a griddle pan or large heavy-based frying pan over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan.
  5. Add the pork slices to the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely browned. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your slices.
  6. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
