Normandy Pork                

                This can be started at home then frozen to take away with you and finish off when you need it

1kg lean pork, diced                

2 large onions, diced              

2 large carrots, thickly sliced           

2 parsnips, thickly sliced       

2 leeks, washed and sliced into 3cm lengths                

500ml dry cider              

2 bay leaves               

1 tsp Dijon mustard      

1 tbsp cornflour                

200g half-fat crème fraîche                

2 Cox’s apples    

 Serves 8                

Method: How to make Normandy Pork                

                

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the pork in batches, until just browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and put in a casserole. Add the onions to the frying pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring, until just transparent. Place in the casserole with the pork.              

  

Tip   If you want to eat this straightaway, prepare up to the end of step 2, leave to cool for 10 minutes, then complete step 4.                

 

2. Add the vegetables to the casserole, then pour over the cider and add the bay leaves. Put over a high heat and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.                

3. Allow to cool, then freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw for 24 hours in the fridge. To reheat, put into a large pan over a medium heat and heat until piping hot.                

4. Stir the mustard and cornflour into the crème fraîche, then stir into the casserole. Core and cut the apples into wedges. Add to the casserole and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened.

 

Season and serve.

You can't Barbeque without sauce so try this one

Barbecue sauce

As the base equal parts of light oil & Tomato puree

(sunflower is good, Olive is not)

Then add

Crushed garlic

Chilli powder to taste

Salt

Paprika

Parsley

Basil

Then combine well and leave to amalgamate for a couple of days and then shake well before use

OK

Who likes a little spice with their food ??? Here I a spice mix that’s suitably hot without being so hot there is no taste

 

50% Chilli Powder

40% Paprika

10% Cumin

 

Simple but warm and tasty

 

Works well with Chinese Indian or Jamaican dishes when they call for Chilli powder
