**Ingredients:**

- 400g pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 100ml vegetable oil

**Steps:**

1. Heat oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a large pan, heat the oil on high. Season the pork with a pinch of salt. Sear the pork until golden, then remove.
