About this recipe
Greek Style Pork Stew Thermomix TM7 brings the sunny flavours of the Mediterranean to your table as an easy weeknight dinner. Searching for pork stew recipes that practically cook themselves ends here: the all-in-one kitchen machine chops the onions and red peppers in seconds, sautés them in olive oil without spluttering, and stews the tomato and paprika sauce at a constant low heat while you get on with other things. The pork fillet stays remarkably tender in the gentle heat, absorbing the sweet peppers and smoky paprika, while the basmati rice soaks up every spoonful of the rich sauce. This is the kind of recipe that makes the TM7 shine for stewing: deep, developed flavour with no standing at the hob, no burning and only one bowl to wash afterwards. Serve it straight from the machine for a family meal that tastes like it simmered all afternoon.
Preparation tips
- Cut the pork fillet into even pieces of roughly the same size so every bite is equally tender once the stew is done; uneven chunks cook at different rates and can turn dry at the edges.
- For a deeper flavour, add a pinch of dried oregano or a crumble of feta over the finished stew; the salty cheese balances the sweetness of the peppers and tinned tomatoes beautifully.
- This stew keeps well in the fridge for two days and the paprika tomato sauce tastes even better the next day, so consider doubling the quantity for effortless meal prep or a quick lunchbox solution.
Recipe variations
- Chicken variation: swap the pork fillet for chicken thighs, which stay wonderfully juicy in the tomato and pepper sauce, and keep the paprika and basmati rice exactly the same for a lighter weeknight version.
- Festive Mediterranean variation: add halved kalamata olives and a dash of red wine vinegar in the final minutes, then serve the stew with lemon wedges and crusty bread instead of rice for a Greek-style gathering.
