A smoky take on Pork Mash, built on brown sugar and bourbon and finished the way we like it. Ready in about 1 hr 30 min and easily enough for 4 people.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the brown sugar and bourbon elements, and pat the pork dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the pork. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.
Stir in the smoked paprika and the rest of the brown sugar and bourbon flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the green beans along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
