Marinated Pork with Melt-in-the-mouth Potatoes and Quinces

A very easy recipe that will not take you long to prepare. You can easily replace the traditional roast turkey with this excellent dish.

Ingredients

• 2½k pork pork loin, diced in large portions
• 10 large potatoes
• 2 oranges (juice)
• a piece of orange zest
• 2 lemons (juice)
• a piece of lemon zest
• 2 quinces
• ¾ teacup of extra virgin olive oil
• 5 cloves of garlic
• a sprig of rosemary
• a sprig of thyme
• salt
• freshly ground pepper

Method

The night before: rinse the meat well, pat it dry, season with salt and pepper and place it in a bowl. Stick the garlic cloves here and there, pour over the olive oil and then stick in the orange and lemon zest. Combine everything well, cover and place it in the fridge. The next day: peel the potatoes, cut them in large chunks and place them into an earthenware, ovenproof pot. Rinse the quinces (unpeeled and unseeded), cut them in large chunks and place them among the potatoes. Put the meat on top and empty the marinade in. Add the rosemary and thyme and pour over the lemon and orange juices. Bake at 200ºC, in a preheated oven, without the lid, for 45 minutes. Then, stir everything well, check the seasoning, cover and bake for another 2h.
