These spud were apparently intended for Crisps but the order was cancelled and the farmer kindly allow a local group access to the field to gather what they could before they were ploughed back in.
There are all sorts of varieties of Potatoes and the ones used for Crisps are intentionally very low in natural sugars. It’s the sugars which make Potatoes brown when to roast or fry them. Brown Crisps might not have the same aesthetic appeal I guess. So we roasted some on Sunday are they worked really well. Yesterday was a simple cooking day for us with roast Chicken, Chip, Peas and Gravy. So how did they work as Chips? Exceptionally well is the answer! If you are in the York area and have received some of these spuds – Roast and Chips are the way forward folks.
Pork loin steaks are one of the cheapest cuts available at the moment. They can also be a bit dry so Sue effectively battered these which held the moisture in the meat and created a very tasty coating.
Ingredients:-
Pork loin steaks
Plain flour (Gluten free works fine)
Salt and Pepper
Chilli flakes
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Paprika
2 Eggs beaten
Oil to fry
White Wine Vinegar
Method:-
Flatten the Pork between cling film with a rolling pin (Good stress relief if you've had a bad day!).
Season the Flour with the other dry ingredients.
Dip in the beaten Egg then coat in the season flour mix.
Fry for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove most of the oil and add a good glug of White Wine Vinegar.
Fry for a further minute on each side.
We served ours with hand cut clips, a fresh salad and Coleslaw.
