Ingredients
- (Ibérico pork if possible) 600g pork fillet, trimmed

Method

Marinate the pork fillet with all the spices and the garlic, 2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt, and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.

For the trintxat, cook the potatoes and the cabbage in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes, then drain and mash them together.

Fry the bacon and the garlic in 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan until golden, then add the potatoes with the cabbage and mix well. Set aside while you make the pork.

Transfer to the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. If you have a meat thermometer, the middle should reach 70C. Remove from the pan and rest for 10 minutes under foil. Reheat the potatoes gently in the frying pan and season.

Slice the pork and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of paprika to finish, and the potatoes on the side.
