Pork with potatoes in a multicooker
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. It's an everyday meal that will delight you not only with its simplicity but also with its exquisite taste—your whole family will appreciate it. You can use any cut of pork—ham, loin, or tenderloin. I prefer pork neck because the meat is tender and slightly fattier. If you don't happen to have tomato paste on hand, you can substitute it with meaty tomatoes. Use spices to your own taste, whichever ones you prefer. I hope you'll enjoy it—it's really delicious! This is one of those cases when everything brilliant is simple. Serve the dish hot.
