Pork and Potatoes Baked in a Clay Pot

Meltingly tender, soft, fragrant pork and potatoes — a wonderful dinner! Recipes for dishes cooked in oven-safe clay pots blend the culinary traditions of the past with modern technology. I heard about pork and potatoes in a pot from an enthusiast whose hobby is adapting traditional recipes once made in a Russian masonry oven for today's gas and electric ovens.

First, cut the boneless pork into small cubes and cook it, covered, in the sauce. For the sauce, mix the tomato paste, the flour, water, salt, and seasoning. Keep the heat as low as your stove allows. While the pork stews, fry the potatoes until they're nearly done — the meat should cook to nearly done, too. Then preheat the oven, and in your clay pot layer the meat on the bottom and the potatoes on top. Pour over the sauce from stewing the pork, cover the pot with its lid, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40 minutes. If your oven runs hot and the kitchen is warm, it may be ready in half an hour, ready to take out and serve. The food is done — the last touch is a little sprig of parsley on top. These amounts are for about a 2-cup (half-liter) pot.
