Sweet Peppers and Pork with Sage and Honey
Inspired by a dish we tasted on the Greek island of Ikaria, this skillet-cooked pork is colorful, savory-sweet and quick to prepare. The tangle of pork, peppers and onion is simply seasoned with honey, sage and a good dose of black pepper. All that’s needed to complete the meal is warm bread, polenta or pilaf.

Tip
Don’t worry that the pork isn’t cooked through after searing. This step, which only partially cooks the meat, produces flavor-building browning for the sauce. The pork will finish after it is returned to the skillet to simmer with the vegetables.

Quick and easy
Subbed in dark meat chicken. Delicious.
The intro says the recipe has "a good dose of black pepper" but no amount is listed for the black pepper. What is considered a good dose?
Will dark meat chicken be a good sub for pork? I know it's less fat then pork so I'm curious...thanks
Hi Lyn -
We haven't tested this recipe with chicken thighs, but they will likely take longer to cook (I'd say between 10-12 minutes) so you may need to adjust the heat in order to make sure the chicken cooks through before it gets too brown or the sauce reduces too much. You may also need to add a little water to the sauce if it starts to thicken too much before the chicken is cooked through.
Best,
