Method
Mix the garlic, paprika and 2 tsp water in a bowl. Brush over the pork escalopes and leave for 5 minutes.
Put the sweet potato in a large pan, cover with boiling water, bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Add the beans to the water, return to a simmer, drain and keep warm.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Core the apples, cut them into thick wedges and add them to the pan with the onions. Cook for 5 minutes until deep golden. Sprinkle with allspice, season, add 2 tbsp water to the pan, cover and leave over a low heat for 5 minutes.
