Paprika Pork with Red Peppers : Low Carb Midweek Dinner

Just lightly spiced and satisfyingly creamy, this pork recipe needs only a handful of ingredients, and the addition of sliced red peppers gives the dish more depth and texture.


INGREDIENTS
Serves Four
4 pork chops or escalope's
1 onion
1 clove garlic
2 red peppers
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp tomato puree
200ml chicken or vegetable stock
200ml crème fraiche
Chopped fresh parsley

METHOD
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the pork chops or escalope's for two minutes on each side until lightly golden brown. Remove to a plate.

Finely slice the onion, peppers and garlic and add to the pan you had sealed the pork in. Cook over a moderate heat for about ten minutes until soft and translucent.

Stir in the tomato puree and then pour over the stock. Return the pork to the pan and simmer for five minutes until slightly syrupy. Add the crème fraiche and some seasoning and simmer for two more minutes before stirring in a handful of chopped fresh parsley.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Mashed swede (rutabaga) or cauliflower rice, and perhaps some green beans.

  1. This sounds like another good one. I have trouble though when I cook pork that way, it seems to turn out tougher than when I cook it longer at a lower temp. I think I could adjust this recipe to do that though.
    Thanks!

  3. Wonderful dish and I love the idea of mashed suede and also cauliflower. I think they call suede over here rutabaga. I haven't bought one in a long time. Thanks for the recipe and links Jan. All the best!

  13. That sure looks good. I like pork chops but when I make them they are never as tender as I would like.

  14. We had pork chops earlier this week and used a different recipe, also easy. The shops were seasoned and seared, then removed from the pan and some chicken brother, sweetener (honey or brown sugar) added, then some apple cider vinegar and a small slice of butter. This recipe sounds like another one to try in the future provided I already have all the ingredients available.
