Herb Braised Pork Loin

Herb Braised Pork Loin recipe

When I worked at the butchers many moons ago Pork Loin was the most costly cut. So when the local supermarket have a whole loin at £219, well it would be rude not to really....
 
Ingredients:-
 
Complete Pork Loin
Garlic Butter ( Sue make her own Garlic Margarine with Parsley)
Fresh Rosemary ( It's seasonal and there a while hedge of it down the road)
Chilli flakes
Salt & Pepper
 
Method:-
 
(1) Lay a good sized sheet of kitchen foil in a roasting try.
(2) Rub the outside of the loin with Garlic Butter, Rosemary, Chilli flakes and season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Fold the foil over and seal the meat in a pouch.
(4) Roast at 160c for about 30 minutes until cooked. Don't over cook as the meat will dry out.
 
We served ours with seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding and lots of gravy.

Bean and Pork Casserole

There was a good sized piece of Boneless Pork Shoulder in the discount fridge at the local supermarket, which was an ideal way to try out our home pickled green Walnuts.

Ingredients:-

Boneless Pork Shoulder
Potatoes
Carrots
Onion
Celery
Swede
200g Mixed Beans
2 Pickled Walnuts
Stock
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Basil
Mushrooms
Bay Leaves
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Soak you dried beans over night. We used a mixture of Black Eye Bean, Mung Beans and Rosecoco Beans.
(2) Cut the Pork into good sized cube and marinade in the Soy Sauce.
(3) Coat in a little Cornflour and fry to seal on all sides.
(4) Chop all the vegetables up and pop everything in the slow cooker with enough Stock to cover.
(5) Cook on High for about 6 hours into the Pork is tender.

The strange addition of Pickled Walnuts added a very slight Tannin back taste  which worked really well. As far as the Vegetables go, we just needed to clear what we had in the fridge.
