A bit of butchery

A bit of butchery, eat well on universal credit

I happened across a Bone in Leg of Pork in the discount fridge the other day. It should have been £26.27, which would still have been a great price. But at £19.71 it was just too good a deal to pass on.

So the oldest ‘Butchers Boy’ in the land came out to play.

In total I extracted the following:-

4 Portions of 2 Steaks
6 Portions of Diced Pork.
3kg of Pork Mince - Which we made 6 large Pork Pies with.
Aspic Jelly for the Pork Pies for boiling the Bones.
Pork rind to make crackling with.

At normal prices we’d probably have paid about £30. There will be quite a few Pork recipes in the coming weeks!!!!!!

Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Loin

Loin is one of the leanest cuts of Pork and has a bit of a tendency to dry out when roasted. But not if you stuff it! Also we’re more than happy to throw a few bits and bobs from the fridge at it if it’s wearing a yellow sticker….

Ingredients:-

Two tbsp Creme Fraiche
An Onion, finely chopped
Blue Stilton, crumbled
Garlic, minced
Mushrooms, finely sliced
Margarine
Fresh Parsley, chopped
DIY Garlic Butter (Margarine here)
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Sautee the Onion and Garlic in the Margarine until softened.
(2) Add the Mushrooms.
(3) Add the Parsley.
(4) Stir in the Creme Fraiche
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(6) Simmer to reduce for 10 minutes.
(7) Put pockets in the Pork Loin.
(8) Spread the sauce in the pockets and add crumbled Blue Cheese.
(9) Rub Garlic Butter over the rind.
(10) Roast in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 40 minutes or until it’s cooked and the sauce is oozing out.

We served ours with roast Potatoes, Parsnips, Peas & Carrots, Yorkshire Puddings and lots of gravy.
