Flavoured with lovely smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de La Vera) this is a yummy one-pan meal.

Cooking doesn't get any easier than throwing everything into a baking tray and leaving it to cook.

There's no real recipe since you can add whatever takes your fancy. 😉 Peppers, we love peppers!

If the weather is good, you can cook this on the BBQ as long as you use a suitable BBQ tray with the lid on.

There's nothing nicer than sitting outdoors eating and drinking with friends.

Ingredients

• olive oil

• sea salt and black pepper

• a good amount of smoked paprika

• 4 nice lean pork loin steaks although a little bit of fat around the edge is a good thing

• 4 medium potatoes washed and sliced to about 1cm 

• 1 yellow, 1 red and 1 green bell pepper - cut into big bite-sized pieces

• 1 large red onion - cut into wedges

• 2 nice fat cloves of garlic - flattened with the bake of a knife

• a big pinch of dried oregano

• a big pinch of dried thyme

• flat leaf parsley - chopped

I always use Pimentón de La Vera (Dulce) the sweet one. Available in any good supermarket. 

They also sell a hot one but some might find it too hot!

I've seen it sold on Amazon but please don't pay a silly price since it's only £2 a tin in the supermarket.

Is Pimentón the same as Paprika?

Smoked paprika, is often called pimenton or smoked Spanish paprika. It's made from peppers that are smoked and dried over oak fires.

This process gives the red powder a rich, smoky flavour. This smoked variety is available in either mild or hot.

Top Tips!

• If you make this with chicken be sure to use skinless and boneless thighs as breast fillets will probably end up dry.

• To feed more people, just add more of everything!

Equipment

You will need a nice big non-stick roasting tray or dish.

So, with a fancy roasting dish in hand, this traybake was waiting to be made!

Just pile all your nicely seasoned vegetables including potatoes and pork into your roasting tin.

Then put it into the oven to cook.

Make this recipe your own!

Instead of pork, you could use skin-on chicken thighs. 

You could add courgettes (zucchini)  or aubergine (eggplant).

Pork Traybake with Potatoes

Traybakes are so very simple to make and a great way to feed a crowd.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 10 M

Ingredients

• olive oil
• sea salt and black pepper
• a good amount of smoked paprika
• 4 nice lean pork loin steaks although a little bit of fat around the edge is a good thing
• 4 medium potatoes washed and sliced to about 1cm - don't bother peeling them (Maris Piper since they're great for roasting)
• 1 yellow, 1 red and 1 green bell pepper - cut into big bite-sized pieces
• 1 large red onion - cut into wedges
• 2 nice fat cloves of garlic - flattened with the bake of a knife
• a big pinch of dried oregano
• a big pinch of dried thyme
• flat leaf parsley - chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F or Gas 6

1. Throw the sliced potatoes into your roasting tin and drizzle with olive oil. Season well with sea salt and black pepper along with a good sprinkling of smoked paprika.
2. Mix with your hands to coat the potatoes well and pop into the heated oven for about 20 minutes.
3. Then remove from the oven and turn them over. Add the peppers, onion and garlic to the tray. Sprinkle over the oregano and thyme and season with salt.
4. Rub each pork loin with olive oil and more smoked paprika and coat well. Add the pork to the tin (on top of the peppers).
5. Pop back into the oven (uncovered) and leave to cook for about 20 minutes before jiggling everything about a bit. Return to the oven to cook for a further 25-30 minutes. The actual time will depend on the thickness of your pork and potatoes.
6. Just make sure the potatoes are cooked through as well as the pork.
7. Sprinkle over the parsley and serve straight away.

Notes

Don't cut the potatoes any thicker than 1cm (half an inch) otherwise, they won't cook in time with the pork.
