About

Pork naturally marries well with sweet, tart flavours. Don’t make the common mistake of overcooking the pork, as this will make it dry and tough.

Method

Make the sweet and sour peppers. Heat half the olive oil in a pan and fry the peppers and chilli for 4 minutes. Season and add the pineapple. Cook for a further 2 minutes, add the sugar and vinegar, stir well and cook for a final minute. Keep warm.
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200°
