How to Make Paprika Pork Ideal For Children

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4). Trim any excess fat and gristle from 500g of pork loin and cut into 1cm dice.
  2. Peel and finely dice 1 large carrot, 2 medium potatoes, 1 medium onion, and 1 red bell pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe casserole dish.
  4. Add the diced pork and fry for 5-7 minutes, until nicely browned on all sides.
  5. Add the diced vegetables to the casserole dish and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 can (400g) of baked beans (drained), and 200ml of water or chicken broth.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop, then cover the casserole dish and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 75 minutes, or until the pork is very tender.
  7. For younger children, use a food processor or blender to achieve your desired consistency. Serve hot and enjoy!
