1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into chips then add the chips to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp

Step 1

Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-low heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 min or until caramelised

Once done, transfer the caramelised onion to a plate and reserve the pan

Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop your garlic

Combine the chopped garlic, ground paprika, white wine vinegar and chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil

Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together – this is your spicy marinade

Return the reserved pan to a high heat

Once hot, add the marinated pork and any remaining marinade from the bowl and cook for 9 min or until browned and tender and the pork is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your Portuguese-style spicy pork
