Grilled Or Fried Pork With Mashed Potatoes And Cucumber Salad Recipe

Grilled or Fried Pork

Start by seasoning the pork (around 100g) with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices. For grilling, preheat the grill to a medium-high temperature and grill the pork for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it's fully cooked and has a nice char. If frying, heat a pan over medium-high heat, add some oil, and fry the pork for about 5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

Mashed Potatoes

Peel and cube potatoes (around 200g) and boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter or milk/cream (10-30g for butter or 50-100 mL for milk/cream) and a pinch of salt, then mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

Cucumber Salad

Thinly slice the cucumber (around 100g) and optionally, some onions (10-20g). In a bowl, mix oil (5-10g), vinegar (5-15mL), chopped fresh dill (around 5g), and a pinch of salt to make the dressing. Combine the cucumber (and onions) with the dressing and let it sit for a few minutes to marinate before serving.
