Start by cutting the pork shoulder into even cubes. Pat them dry with kitchen paper. Dry meat browns better and tastes richer. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Keep it ready while you prepare other ingredients for smooth cooking.

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork pieces in batches. Brown them on all sides until golden. Do not overcrowd the pan. This step builds deep flavor for the Hairy Bikers Paprika Pork Recipe base.

Remove pork and set aside. In the same pan, add chopped onions. Cook until soft and golden. Add garlic and stir for one minute. The smell becomes rich and sweet. This forms the aromatic base of your paprika pork.

Lower the heat slightly. Add sweet paprika and tomato paste. Stir quickly to avoid burning. Cook for a short time to release flavor. This step gives the dish its deep red color and signature smoky taste.

Pour in chicken stock slowly. Stir well to combine everything. Add the browned pork back into the pan. Mix gently so flavors blend. Let it come to a light simmer for rich and steady cooking.

Cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook slowly for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The pork becomes soft and tender. The sauce thickens and becomes rich and flavorful during this slow cooking stage.

Add sliced bell peppers and cook for 5–10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir in sour cream gently. This makes the sauce creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving your delicious paprika pork dish.
