Ingredients

For the meat:

600 g pork roast (slices)
plain flour for coating
salt, pepper
3 onions (a larger amount)
2 tablespoons lard
250 ml stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce

For the mashed potatoes:

1 kg potatoes (cooking type C)
2–3 tablespoons dried fried onions
salt
a piece of butter or a tablespoon of lard (to taste)

Preparation procedure

Prepare the meat: Pound the pork roast, season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each slice in plain flour.
Searing the meat: In hot lard, quickly fry the meat on both sides to sear it. Then remove the meat and set aside.
Base for the sauce: Add thinly sliced onions cut into half-moons to the pan drippings. Fry them until golden to slightly brown so they release their sweet flavor. Pour in the stock and add Worcestershire and soy sauce.
Braising: Return the meat to the pan, cover with a lid and simmer until tender (approx. 45 minutes). At the end you can either blend the sauce or leave the onions whole according to taste.
Potatoes: Boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel and mash them. Add butter or lard, salt, and dried fried onions. Mix well.
