Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

For the pork thigh:
- 1 kg boneless pork thigh (whole piece)

For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon grated horseradish
- 100 ml white wine

For searing the meat:
- 50 g butter
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
- Spice mix: ground coriander, ground pepper, ground thyme, ground cinnamon (to taste)

For the puree:
- 5 potatoes
- 1 medium carrot
- Salt, pepper, nutmeg (to taste)
- A little butter

Preparation:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by washing the pork thigh under cold running water. Make sure to dry it well with a kitchen towel to remove excess water. Now it's time to create a spice mix. Use coriander, pepper, thyme, and a pinch of cinnamon for a deep and aromatic flavor. Roll the piece of meat in this mix, ensuring it is evenly coated.

2. Searing the meat: In a large skillet, add the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and started to foam, add the pork thigh. Searing will give the meat a delicious crust and seal in the juiciness. Sear the meat on all sides for about 10-15 minutes, until it turns golden.

3. Preparing the tomatoes: Meanwhile, you can prepare the tomatoes. If you have a grill or electric grill, roast the tomatoes until the skin starts to peel off. If not, you can place them in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10-15 minutes. After roasting, peel and chop them finely. These will add a fresh note to the sauce.

4. Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, combine the roasted tomatoes with honey, mustard, horseradish, and white wine. Mix all the ingredients well until you achieve a smooth sauce. If you want a thinner sauce, you can add a little more white wine.

5. Assembling and baking: In a baking dish or tray, place the seared pork thigh. Pour the tomato sauce over it and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C. Bake for 45 minutes or until the meat is well cooked and juicy.

6. Preparing the puree: While the meat is baking, you can prepare the puree. Peel the potatoes and carrot, wash them well, and cut them into cubes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes until they become tender. Once done, drain the water but keep a little of the liquid. Mash the vegetables with a little butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, gradually adding the reserved liquid to achieve a smooth but not too soft consistency.

7. Browning the puree: Once the puree has cooled slightly, shape it using a spoon or pastry bag, then place it on a tray. Put it in the preheated oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes until it becomes lightly browned. This technique will add a crispy texture and highlight the flavors.

8. Serving: After the meat is ready, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the pork thigh alongside the baked puree and add some roasted tomatoes for a contrast of color and taste. If you have any leftover slices of meat, you can use them to make delicious sandwiches.

Useful tips:
- Choose a high-quality pork thigh, preferably from a trusted supplier. Organic or naturally fed pork will add extra flavor.
- You can experiment with different spices, adding paprika or basil for a different taste.
- If you want a spicier sauce, you can add a bit of finely chopped chili pepper to the sauce mix.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use another type of meat? Of course! This recipe can easily be adapted to beef or chicken, depending on your preferences.
- How can I store the meat? The pork thigh can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or can be frozen for later use.
- What wine should I choose to accompany this dish? A dry white wine pairs perfectly, but if you prefer red wine, choose one with good acidity to balance the fat of the meat.
