Herb braised Pork Loin

Braised Pork Loin recipe

Pork Loin used to be prime cuts when I was at the butchers and probably the most expensive bit of a Pig weight for weight. Now our local Supermarket often have them for around about £2.

Ingredients:-


Pork tender Loin
Mixed Herbs
Oil
Margarine
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Marinate the Pork in Salt, Pepper, Oil and Cider Vinegar for half an hour
(2) Make a foil parcel and add mixed Herbs and dabs of Margarine and then fold over to seal.
(3) Roast at 140C for about half an hour.

We enjoyed ours in a giant Yorkshire Pudding with mixed red and green cabbage, roasted Carrots, Potatoes and lashings of gravy.

Swordfish with fresh Ginger & Capers

Another Yellow Sticker gig and to be honest it was a budget breaker at £3 a steak. But we’ve had quite a few meals recently which were on budget and lasted two days. So…..

Ingredients:-

2 Swordfish Steaks
1 Tbsp of Fish Sauce
A squeeze of Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp of Capers
½ Tsp of Chilli Flakes
1 Thumb of fresh Ginger, minced (We grew of own and have miles of it!)
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
A Knob of Butter (Margarine we’ve not had real Butter in the place for quite some time….)
1 Tbsp of Fresh Parsley (Out Parsley plant is looking a bit skinheaded!)
½ Tbsp Lemon Zest
Salt & Pepper to season
Olive Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Marinade the Swordfish in the Olive Oil, Fish Sauce and Salt & Pepper for 20 minutes.
(2) Melt the Butter / Margarine in a frying pan.
(3) Add  all the other ingredient to a bowl and mix well.
(4) Fry the fish steaks for 2 minutes on one side.
(5) Place in a pre heated oven at 180c.
(6) Add the remaining ingredients to the melted Butter / Margarine and allow to simmer and reduce.
(7) Pour the reduced sauce over the Swordfish before serving.

We simply has New Potatoes, Corn and Broccoli with ours and it was a real treat!
