Crispy Butterflied Pork Fillet

Crispy Butterflied Pork Fillet

Pork Fillet at 99p in the discounts? When I worked at the butchers this was considered a premium cut, but it appears in the discounts relatively often locally now. Perhaps there’s not much demand? Who knows? Who cares! But like all the very lean cuts of Pork it can become tough if it’s over cooked and looses moisture. So we experimented with a crispy coating.

When we say crispy coating, we do actually mean “Crispy” on this occasion - See below…

Ingredients:-

1 butterflied fillet each (One was sightly larger than the other so Tigger the Cat has a treat waiting in the fridge for him today - Who on a £4 budget feeds a Cat on Fillet!)
2 sprigs of fresh Rosemary - plucked from a bush
4 sprigs of fresh Sage - acquired in the same way…..
Gram Flour
½ a sharing bag of Salt & Vinegar crisps
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Mixed herbs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Grated Cheese

Method:-

(1) Get rid of the sticks from the Rosemary & Sage and chop very finely.
(2) In a bowl coat the fillets in plain Flour on all sides.
(3) Mix the fresh herbs, dried herb and Gram Flour in a bowl.
(4) Add enough water to make a very thick and sticky coating and mix well.
(5) Smash the Crisps in their bag and tip onto a plate.
(6) Coat the Fillets in the Gram Flour coating on all side.
(7) Lay in the Crisps and flip so you have crisps stuck on all sides.
(8) Transfer to a lightly oil oven try.
(9) Cook in a pre-heated oven at 160c for 40 minutes.
(10) Heat the grill.
(11) Sprinkle the grated Cheese oven the coated and cooked Fillets and transfer to the grill.
(12) Grill on high heat for 10 minutes so that the Cheese is melted and the crispy coating is golden brown.

We had Minted boiled Potatoes, Peas and a raw Red Cabbage vinaigrette salad with ours. The coating works well and the herbs flavoured the meat really well.

Really? This is a Government Employee?Dear Jody,
                 Firstly I thank you for your reply. Although I found is somewhat difficult to understand. I would expect a reasonably level of literacy from a Government Employee.
 
Please see below:-
 
Your message “ Hi Antony,
 
If they wasn't able to do that for you, you can download it off the Gov.uk website and if you put in the search bar uc50 and its the top one that you can download and complete. 
 
Kind Regards Jody “
 
I would prefer this to have been phrased:-
 
“ Hi Antony,
 
If our department or our sub-contractors were unable to assist you with this, you can download it from the Gov.uk website. By inserting “uc50” in the search bar you will find the 24 page full colour .pdf file. If you could possibly download and print this we will reimburse you for the cost involved, as this is clearly our mistake.
 
Kind Regards Jody “
 
I did not receive your form. Possibly because your system caused us to be homeless and living in a tent for 8 weeks? No postal service etc. I will however complete your form and walk a 3 mile round trip with a heart condition to drop it off at Job Centre Plus York. I'm sure it would be much more convenient for me to die on the way. 
 
However, with the assistance and in partnership with various charities we visited 10 Downing Street yesterday to deliver a petition against UC. We sincerely hope it forces change and makes your position as an employee more tenable and doesn't lead to the system you have to enforce killing too many more people.
 
As we only receive £430+ a month and the cartridges for the printer cost us £48 I think it only fair that you reimburse us. I can provide the WH Smiths receipt.
