Ingredients

  • 1200 g Pork fillet
  • 1000 g Waxy potatoes
  • 4 Stück Garlic cloves
  • 20 g Ginger, fresh
  • 2 Stück Red chili peppers, fresh
  • 4 EL Olive oil
  • 2 EL Honey
  • 1 Stück Lime, juice
  • 1 Bund Thyme
  • 1 TL Sweet paprika powder
  • Salt
  • Black pepper, freshly ground

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C top and bottom heat. Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C.
  2. Peel the garlic and ginger and finely chop them. Deseed the chili peppers (or don't, for more heat) and finely chop them. Pluck the thyme leaves from the stems.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, chili, thyme, 1 tsp salt and some pepper to form a paste.
  4. Pat the pork fillet dry, rub it all over with the paste, and place it on a tray with a rack or a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  5. Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges or thick sticks. In a bowl, toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika powder, 1 tsp salt and some pepper.
  6. Put the potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook for about 20 minutes, shaking them twice in between.
  7. Slide the pork fillet into the preheated oven and roast for 18 to 22 minutes at 220 °C, until it reaches a core temperature of about 62 to 65 °C in the middle.
  8. Take the meat out of the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it into thick slices and serve with the potato wedges.
