Flaskkarre - Swedist Pork Loin recipe, eat well on universal credit

Pork Loin was on offer yesterday so we thought we’d carry on with the Swedish theme.

Ingredients:-

1 Pork Loin
1 Tbsp of Garlic Butter ( Garlic Dairy free Margarine for us)
½ Tsp of Ground Ginger
200ml of Beef Stock
2 Sprigs of Thyme
2 Sprigs of Rosemary (Foraged in this case)
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Smother the Pork in the Garlic Butter.
(2) Rub with the Ground Ginger and season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Place the Pork in a baking tray and pour the Stock around it.
(4) Lay the Thyme and Rosemary over the top and cover with foil.
(5) Place in a pre-heated oven at 160c for 20 minutes or until the Pork is just cooked through.
(6) Remove from the tray and allow to rest before slicing.
(7) Use the Stock from the tray as the foundation for a sauce / gravy.

We served ours with Fried Kate & Chorizo and Hasselback Potatoes. It’s not often that Sue will freely say “That was really good”!

Thai stir-fried minced Beef with Basil and ChilliThis recipe IS NOT for the faint hearted!
 
Ingredients:-
 
For the sauce
 
35ml fish sauce
2 bird’s-eye chillies, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, very finely sliced
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp coriander, finely chopped
 
For the beef
 
6 red or green bird’s eye chillies (fewer if you want it less hot)
4 small garlic cloves
3 tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for deep-frying the eggs
200g good-quality, coarsely minced beef
good pinch of caster sugar
about 2 tbsp fish sauce
big handful of Thai basil  (or holy basil from specialist Asian shops)
2 large eggs
 
Method:-
 
(1) For the serving sauce, mix together the fish sauce, chillies and garlic and set aside for the flavours to meld.
(2) Meanwhile, for the beef, coarsely chop the chillies with the garlic and a pinch of salt.
(3) Heat about 10cm of oil in a saucepan (for the deep-fried eggs) while you cook the beef. 
(4) Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a wok then fry the garlic and chilli mixture, but don’t let it colour. Add the beef and stir-fry for a minute, until only just cooked. 
(5) Season to taste with the sugar and fish sauce but be careful not to make it too salty. Add 50ml water and gently simmer for a minute, but don’t let it boil or the meat will become tough. There should be enough liquid to make a bit of a sauce.
(6) Stir in the basil and remove from the heat.
(7) Fry your eggs. To deep-fry, have the oil really hot and crack in an egg so it’s submerged. Fry until the white is crispy and the yolk still runny. Drain well. 
(8) Add the lime and coriander  to the sauce and serve alongside the beef with Rice noodles and a fried egg on top of each dish.

Seasoned Fried Pork Steaks recipePork loin steaks are one of the cheapest cuts available at the moment. They can also be a bit dry so Sue effectively battered these which held the moisture in the meat and created a very tasty coating.
 
Ingredients:-
 
Pork loin steaks
Plain flour (Gluten free works fine)
Salt and Pepper
Chilli flakes
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Paprika
2 Eggs beaten
Oil to fry
White Wine Vinegar
 
Method:-
 
Flatten the Pork between cling film with a rolling pin (Good stress relief if you've had a bad day!).
Season the Flour with the other dry ingredients.
Dip in the beaten Egg then coat in the season flour mix. 
Fry for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove most of the oil and add a good glug of White Wine Vinegar.
Fry for a further minute on each side.
 
We served ours with hand cut clips, a fresh salad and Coleslaw.
