Pork Loin Curry

Pork Loin Curry

Probably far from traditional, but traditions are ever evolving as far as we are concerned. There were two large Loin Chops in the offers at the local Supermarket. As there are three mouths to feed Sue de-boned them and made this pretty convincing Curry.
 
Ingredients:-
 
2 Pork Loin chops, de-boned, beaten out and then cut into strips
1 Onion, sliced
1 Potato, peeled and cubed
1 large Carrot, peeled and cubed
¼ of a Celeriac, peeled and cubed
A good squeeze of Tomato Purée
1 tin of Chopped Tomatoes
¼ tsp Garam Masala
¼ tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Chilli Flakes
¼ tsp Paprika
3 Dried Red Chillies soaked and then sliced finely
¼ tsp Onion Salt
¼ tsp Garlic Salt
¼ tsp Turmeric
1 large clove of Garlic minced
A Slug of Soy Sauce (Gluten free in our case)
Butter / Margarine
Salt & Pepper to taste
 
Method:-
 
Marinade the Pork in the Soy Sauce.
Add a sprinkle of all the spices except the Red Chillies and Garlic.
Add the Butter / Margarine to a large frying pan and gently fry the Onions until softened.
Add the Potatoes, Carrots and Celeriac, fry for 10 minutes.
Add the remaining spices and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the Pork and stir until the Pork is browned.
Add the Tomato Purée, tinned Tomatoes and a little water if the sauce is too think.
Simmer for 20 minutes stirring regularly.

Pulled Pork recipe, Eat well on Universal Credit

Originally an American invention to use the front parts of a Pig which we usually make into Sausages. Pulled Pork is a great way to use the ver cheapest cuts. This joint was less that £2. Yes it is a bit of boneless shoulder and yes it would heve been touch as old boots! But not this way.
 
Note:-  Sue is not keen on BBQ sauce so I used a simple gravy at the end of the process to moisten the meat.
 
Ingredients:-
 
Pork Shoulder cut. Bone in or out, it's down to what is available.
Stock, beef, chicken or if you have your own any base stock will work.
Sale & Pepper.
Oil.
 
Method:-
 
(1) Don't start this expecting to eat in less than 3 hours!.
(2) Turn the oven up to 200c or so.
(3) If using Stock Cube mix with boiling water stir well and set aside.
(4) Mix the Salt and Pepper with the Oil and rub the meat well.
