Pork fillet with smoked paprika and piquillo peppers
Smoked paprika and piquillo peppers bring a flavour of Spain to this tempting pork dish from José Pizarro and Sainsbury's magazine. This recipe is best started the day before so the pork has plenty of time to marinate. You can prepare the piquillo peppers ahead of cooking the pork – reheat gently to serve
