Ingredients

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 4 pork loin chops
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 210 g tomato purée
  • 1 T vinegar
  • 1 T Worcester sauce
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1 t paprika
  • 1 t chilli flakes
  • 1 t cayenne pepper
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Mashed potato, for serving

Cooking Instructions

Heat 1 T oil in a large pan and brown the chops. Set aside.

In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and brown the onion until lightly golden. Add the tomato purée, vinegar, Worcester sauce, sugar, paprika chilli and cayenne pepper and cook for 15 minutes.

Return the chops to the pan and season to taste. Cook for 5–10 minutes.

Serve with mashed potato.

Cook's note: “I am definitely a child of the seventies because I remember thinking this dish was incredibly exotic – it must have been the paprika and cayenne pepper! My mom used to make it in an electric frying pan – do they even exist anymore?” – Lynda Ingham-Brown
