If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you’ll know that I am a lover of pork. Or should I say, LOVER OF PORK. I love the stuff. How can one animal create so much goodness? All of my favourites too: bacon, leg ham, slow roasted shoulders, proscuitto, pork belly…all that crackly skin. Holy snappers!
It’s also a lean meat to use mid week (if you take away the crackle) and something we often get stuck into. Pork sausages, mince, cutlets or leaner pork medallions are great cuts to use instead of chicken that so often are the default. Here are some of my favourite recipes (while perhaps not all suited to mid week cooking) will give you some inspiration.
Slow cooked pulled pork for tacos
Slow roasted pork belly
BBQ pork cutlets
Pork sausage pasta
This week is going to be a BUSY one for us all here. We finish school for holidays on Thursday and then have the busiest time in the village on Saturday with the Easter markets. Rob is somehow in charge of setting that all up and I am well and truly in baking mode. Bring on Saturday night when we are done for another year!
Hope you all have a great week!
I’m loving the pork cutlets at the moment Beth,they are good!
They are always a winner!
your food always looks amazing! thanks beth for inspirations!
my daughter is always telling me to get do that!
love m:)X … btw what is that plant on your insta page?
love it! and your table are you on the table??
Not on the table…promise! Unsure of the name of that flower I’m afraid x
I made your pulled pork on the weekend! So much porky goodness. I stuffed up the crackle again. Even finishing it under the grill there was a portion of it that just did not firm up 🙁 I’m not sure where I’m going wrong (not just with this dish). Not enough salt? I don’t know how much more I could add… would love to see a lil video or picture tutorial
Good idea – will try and remember next time I am making it! It can be tricky after it’s been cooking for so long.
