Roast Pork Dinner

Let's dispel a few myths. The idea with beef is that the meat is best the further away from the horns as you can afford it. Shoulder of lamb is a great cut but hideously expensive and needs cooking for hours on a low heat. Pork shoulder was traditionally the cut of choice for making sausages, I've personally run thousands of kilos through a commercial mincer!

All that said. If you've not a great deal of money and it's on offer – why not? This joint cost us the frightening sum of £2.14 and in addition to last nights feast we'll be making a stir-fry from the remaining half for tonight. Shoulder pork is also the joint used for Pulled Pork which is effectively well over cooked meat shredded with BBQ sauce added to mask the lack of 'meat' flavour.

If it's been frozen (As ours was) Don't expect crackling. The ice created during home freezing breaks the fat / protein boundary structures. Commercially blast frozen joints might work better for crackling but there's nothing like a fresh cut. If you happen to have a Buster equivalent the slightly leathery rind is a free alternative you dog chews and certainly better appreciated!

Roasting:-

Ingredients:-

Pork shoulder

Oil

Salt & Pepper

Oh and an oven!

Method:-

Heat the oven to 220C

Rub the meat all over with Oil, Salt & Pepper

Place in the oven for 20 minutes

Lower the heat to 200c for a further 30 minutes

Lower the heat to 180c and cook until the meat runs clear. The longer you leave the better. Add a little stock to keep your joint moist if you are cooking for hours.

We served ours with veg, Yorkshire Pudding and home made gravy.

Enjoy!

Most popular recipe - kaszanka Pizza - http://www.eatwellonuc.org.uk/index.php/recipes/2-kaszanka-pizza-it-s-not-a-pizza-really Which is a bit of an oddity but there you go.

So onto the important stuff....

Following the Yorkshire Evening Post article relating to the failures of Universal Credit we have been invited to visit London to present the petition - http://endhungeruk.org/ucpetition/ in early November. We will also be featured in The York Press next Monday (15 /10/18) and we have been approached by the National PR team of The Salvation Army to deliver some cooking demonstrations. Not bad for a couple of ex tent dwellers cooking on a budget of £4 a day for us and our dog Buster!

Also we would like to thank the anonymous donor of £20 via PayPal. ( https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=qGqRuoOQM8BcSevmUwB4aAljOIw00Ah-6gG_-Hzl1vlcyfT9jkvaBFtL1JC3g3L5RWIxL0&country.x=GB&locale.x=GB )

This is a “Not For Profit” venture on our behalf. We will never take anything for ourselves. Any donations however large or small are gratefully accepted and will only ever be used to supply materials for food presentations. Any surplus will be donated to The Salvation Army or other chosen homeless related charities.

So thank you all. Please continue to share, like, download and enjoy our recipes! Sue & Tony
