Winter Veg

Winter Veg

We tend to get stuck in a loop with vegetables for some reason. Peas, Red Cabbage and spuds seem to have become our “Go-To” choice recently. So we thought we’d have a bit of a change yesterday. Although the Spuds are still there….

Because of the global supply network, be it a good or (more probably) bad thing the majority of regularly used vegetables are available all year round in the supermarkets and local retailers. But if you buy seasonal veg you will notice that they tend to be UK grown more often than not. This has to be a good thing surely?

So last nights veg was:-

Boiled Cabbage
Roast Parsnips
Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower

All UK grown and with a bit of slow roast Pork shoulder and home made gravy it was a meal your granny would have been proud of on a very cost effective budget.

Scarborough Fair crusted Pork Shoulder

An odd name for a recipe? It refers to the very old Simon and Garfunkel song  “Scarborough Fair” which has Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme in the lyrics – Which were all in this crusting!

Ingredients:-

2 Slices of (Gluten free in our case) Bread, crumbed
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme – Fresh if you have it, or dried
1 Shallot, chopped
1 Egg beaten
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Lightly fry the Shallot until it has softened and set aside.
(2) Whisk the Egg.
(3) In a large bowl combine all the ingredients to form a stuffing sort of texture
(4) Press the crust onto the top of a Pork Shoulder joint and cover with foil.
(5) Roast at 180c for about 45 minutes.
(6) Remove the foil and roast for a further 10 minutes.

We served this with Sprout Bhaji in a bit (Gluten free ) Yorkshire Pudding, Carrots and Peas, Roast Spuds and lots of Onion Gravy.
