Pulled Pork Ploughman's

Pulled Pork Ploughman's

We had a whole boned Pork Shoulder for £5.38 in the freezer. As one meal this would have been excessive and over budget. It’s also a slow roast gig. But we’ll most likely get 6 servings from the meat over the next few days.

For the Pulled Pork.

Ingredients:-

Pork Shoulder
A pint of Stock
Oil
Salt & Pepper
Onions
Rosemary
Garlic cloves, halved

Method:-

(1) Pour the stock into a casserole dish and add the Onions roughly chopped.
(2) Lay a couple of sprigs of Rosemary over the top.
(3) Stab the Pork with a sharp knife and push the halved Garlic into the meat.
(4) Season with Salt & Pepper and rub well with Oil.
(5) Cover with foil and place in the oven at 160c
(6) Leave to roast very slowly for at least 5 ½ hours.

We did actually end up with reasonable crackling, which is rare with a home frozen joint. So we served the pulled Pork with crackling over the top, home fermented Kimchee (Recipe here), Garlic and Clive Cheese and hand cut chips. A bit of Piccalilli and it was a very taste and simple supper. 

The stock and Onions are in a jar in the fridge and will make the base for an outstanding gravy!

Coeur de Porc battu recipe

Using a dodgy translation service to make something sound appealing. That’s a very old restaurant trick. But read on folks…..

We had quite a few stir-fry ingredients in as we made a stir-fry with the remaining Yellow Sticker Chicken the other day. But also loitering in the darker recesses of the freezer was a large pack of diced Pigs Heart, which cost us £1.24. Yes Pigs Heart! Well that my Vegan and Vegetarian friends gone then. Sorry….

Ingredients:-

Diced Pigs Heart
Milk
Soda Water
Self raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Method:-

(1) Soak the Pigs Heat in Milk in the fridge for a couple of hours.
(2) Drain and dry on kitchen paper.
(3) Pre-heat the fryer to 180c.
(4) Mix a very think batter with the flour, seasonings and Soda Water.
(5) Add the Heart to the batter and make sure it is all well coated.
(6) Using a large kitchen spoon scoop spoonfuls of the battered Heart and drop them into the Oil. It’s a good idea to remove the basted so they don’t stick.
(7) When they rise to the surface turn them over a couple of times until the batter is golden brown on all sides.
(8) Remove each batch and drain on kitchen paper.

For those who have a dislike of all things offal (I used to be in that camp myself) just stick with the fancy French name…. You will be pleasantly surprised! We served ours over stir-fry vegetables, Potato croutons, Smoked Lithuanian Sausage bites and dressed with home brewed Kimchi!
