ONE PAN PORK AND LEEK RECIPE
One Pan Pork And Leek Recipe - flavorful pieces of pork and tender sautéed leeks. Perfect for a simple weeknight one pan dinner.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lb (1 kg) pork butt, cut into 1/2 in cubes (or boneless pork chops cut into 1 inch cubes)
- 3 leeks , washed, cut in half and thinly sliced into half rounds ( can use white part only or white and 1/2 of the green part)
- 2 tbsp oil (I use avocado oil)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil.
- Add pork meat, season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally for 10-14 min for pork butt (8-10 min) for pork chops, until the meat is lightly browned and half of the liquid released has evaporated.
- Add leeks and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5-7 more minutes, until leeks are browned and tender.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
Cooking time will vary, depending on the cut of meat used. For pork butt (shoulder) meat, it will be 5-10 min longer. Make sure you wash leeks well. You can either use the white part of the leeks only, or also half of the green part (the one closer to the white)
