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!
1 Jam of shop bought Curry Sauce (We used Jalfrezi)
1 Tin of chopped Tomatoes
¼ tube of Tomato Purée
Salt and Pepper
Vegetable Oil for frying
Method:-
(1) Fry the chopped Onion and Mushroom until softened.
(2) Add the Ginger, Garam Masala, Paprika, Salt and Pepper and stir well. Fry gently for a couple of minutes.
(3) Add the Garlic, Curry Sauce, chopped Tomatoes, Tomato Purée and simmer to reduce for 20 minutes.
(4) Chop the Chicken meat into rough cubes and add. Simmer until the Chicken is thoroughly heated. Do not cook for too long at this stage as the Chicken will bread down into shreds.
