Andalusian Braised Pork Cheeks and Potatoes

Name: Andalusian Braised Pork Cheeks and Potatoes
Cook time: 220 min
Total time: 220 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1.2-1.5 kg Pork cheeks; 3 large Onion; 4 Garlic clove; 2 Bay leaf; Black pepper; Salt; 300-400 ml Oloroso sherry; 500 ml Good quality beef stock; Olive oil; 700 g Waxy potatoes

Last year, my brother in law and I took a gastronomic trip to Seville, where we gorged on manchego, cured Iberian pork and tapas. Of all the tapas we had however, this Andalusian pork stew was what stood out the most. The pork was so tender, the sauce was incredibly rich, and the potatoes just absorbed all of that flavour. It was stunning. It took me a few goes to figure this one out, but in the end, I think I nailed it. If you ever find yourself in Seville, take a trip to Bar Baratillo, which does it the best in my opinion.

Step 1

Season the pork cheeks generously with salt and pepper. Get a heavy casserole on a medium-high heat with a good glug of olive oil and brown the cheeks hard on all sides. You want real colour here. Do it in batches if you need to. Take them out and set aside.
