Linda's pot o' pig
This recipe is my interpretation of "Fridas Kasserolle", which we had in a pub in Denmark, owned by Frida. restaurantfridas.dk/

Servings: 4

Servings: 4
Ingredients
  • 500 gr pork, cut into cubes
  • 3 strips stripey bacon ~45 to 50 grams
  • 2 European style wiener sausages cut into 2 cm/1 inch pieces (if you can find high quality, tasty cocktail wieners, then use them instead)
  • sweet paprika to taste (or hot paprika, if you prefer with heat)
  • 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
  • optional: stock, it could be pork, chicken, or vegi
  • cream, works best with whipping cream, but lower milk fat percentage creams also work, but need more reduction
  • 3 "strong shakes" of Worcestershire sauce.
  • 2 "strong shakes" of Asian fish sauce, optional.
Steps
  1. In a Dutch oven or similar, cook the bacon until most of the fat had been rendered. Put the bacon aside.
  2. Fry the onion a little bit in the rendered bacon fat.
  3. Fry the pork cubes with the onion. If that will crowd the pan, only add half the cubes. When browned, put the pork and onion aside and fry the other half.
  4. Add the stock or cream to within ~1 cm (½ inch) of the top of the meat.
  5. Add the paprika.
  6. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  7. Add the pieces of wiener (or cocktail wieners).
  8. Adjust the seasoning with paprika, salt, Worcestershire, and optional fish sauce.
  9. If using stock, add some cream - enough that it looks creamy. If not using stock, make sure there is enough cream that there is lots of sauce.
  10. Crumble the bacon into largish pieces and add to the pot.
  11. Turn up the heat. Once it comes to a simmer, reduce to a nice thick sauce.
  12. Serve with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. Rødkål goes well with this dish too.
Notes
  • 2022-09 to 22: The fish sauce really kicked it up a notch. Remember that fish sauce is quite salty, so be careful about adding salt.
