Pork Azu with Potatoes and Pickles

Azu with potatoes makes a delicious, complete dinner. Azu is a traditional Tatar dish usually made with beef, but pork gets you there faster. Traditionally the potatoes are fried separately so they don't soak up the acidity from the pickles — but if you'd rather have all the flavors meld together, you can add them straight in. Either way, the result is a tasty, distinctive dish that's a great answer to "what's for dinner?"

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into even, roughly equal pieces, then keep them in water. Peel and slice the onion. Cut the pickles and meat into strips. Sauté the onion and meat in a skillet with the vegetable oil. Add the pickles, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook everything together for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes. Traditionally, the potatoes for azu are browned separately and only then added to the meat — but to let the flavors blend better, you can add them raw. Azu is made by frying, not stewing, so cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the potatoes are done. When the azu is nearly ready, add the bay leaf and tomato paste and stir them in. Top the finished dish with chopped fresh herbs if you like.
