Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

In a Dutch oven, brown the pork on all sides. Add a little water, then add the carrot and onion (chopped), sage, rosemary, and summer savory. Cover and cook for 25–30 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked.
2

When done, remove the pork and cover it to rest. Deglaze the pan with a little red wine, then strain the sauce.
3

For the mash: Peel the potatoes and purple sweet potato, then cut into pieces. Cook them in salted water for 25 minutes, covered but with a small gap for steam to escape. Mash with butter and milk.

Purple sweet potatoes are different from orange sweet potatoes: they are not sweet, and you may need more milk or cream to make the mash creamy.
