Recipe: Cajun Pork Casserole

Can't believe this recipe -it's epic, I actually fooled my brother into eating swede, as well as apple! Its flavourful, healthy, filling, and pretty darn cheap to make too. I served this with macaroni (as we didnt have any bread or rice in the house) and that actually works really well as a side dish.

Cajun Pork Casserole (serves 4)

2 tbsp olive oil
1 white onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
450g diced pork (leg or shoulder)
2 carrots, peeled and diced
200g diced swede
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 tin tomatoes
1 tin kidney beans in chilli sauce
1 tsp paprika
300ml vegetable stock
1 tsp bisto gravy granules
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. In a casserole, sauté the onion, garlic and pork in the olive oil for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add all the other ingredients and bring to the boil.
2. Put a lid on the casserole, and put in the oven for half an hour. Remove, stir it, and return to the oven for a further 30 minutes. Season to taste and serve!
