Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Put the pork in a dish with a glug of the oil, the garlic, paprikas, thyme, lemon zest and juice, fennel seeds and red wine vinegar. Season, cover with cling film and marinate for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, put the sliced potatoes in the roasting tin with another glug of oil and some seasoning. Roast for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, pour in the wine and stock, then put the pork on top and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, add the olives and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes.

Quick wins & tips

Anchovy-stuffed olives have a strong flavour that works well with pork’s sweetness. If you prefer something more mellow, go for unstuffed olives.

Excellent recipe, very tasty outcome. I used a tin of anchovies and plain pitted olives.

So pleased to hear this was a success. Thanks for the tip on using tinned anchovies and olives in place of anchovy-stuffed olives.
