About Brassói Pork
György Hargitai’s brassói aprópecsenye combines strips of pork with smoked bacon, garlic and potatoes. The meat cooks gently with tomato paste and black pepper before the potatoes are mixed through it.
The potatoes are first boiled in salted water, then peeled, cut and deep-fried. This gives them a fried exterior before they meet the garlic-scented pork and its reduced sauce.
Smoked bacon contributes richness to the meat. An optional flour-thickened sauce is also offered, while the finished dish brings the pork strips and fried potato pieces together in the same pan.
