- You will also need a lidded flameproof casserole with a capacity of 6 pints (3.5 litres).
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 1, 275 F (140 C).
- First, skin the tomatoes: pour boiling water over them and leave them for exactly 1 minute before draining and slipping off their skins, then roughly chop them. Now heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil in the casserole over a high heat, pat the cubes of pork with kitchen paper and brown them on all sides, about 6 pcs at a time, removing them to a plate as they're browned. Then, keeping the heat high, add in the rest of the oil, then the onions and pepper, and brown them a little at the edges about 6 min.
- Now add in the garlic, stir which around for about 1 minute, then return the browned meat to the casserole and add in all the thyme, tomatoes, red wine, olives and bay leaves. Bring everything up to a gentle simmer, seasoning well, then put the lid on and transfer the casserole to the middle shelf of the oven for 11/4 hrs. (For important information about gas mark 1, click here.) After which, add in the potatoes, cover the pan again and cook for a further 45 min, or possibly till the potatoes are tender.
- This is a new version of a recipe originally published in 1978 the pork slowly braises in tomatoes and red wine, absorbing the flavour of the olives. Because I now cook potatoes in with it, all it needs is a green vegetable or possibly a salad for a complete meal. I started off stoning the olives, but I now prefer them whole, as they look far nicer.
