Lamb Neck Fillet

Lamb Neck Fillet

Although Lamb is traditional at this time of year we can’t realistically justify spending £20+ on a leg of Larry. So we went for a neck Fillet. It was very tender and tasty after long slow cooking.

Ingredients:-

1 Lamb Neck Fillet, seasoned with Salt & Pepper
1 Onion, Sliced
1 Leek, sliced lengthways
1 Carrot, finely batoned
1 head of Garlic, halved
a few Black Peppercorns
2 Bay Leaves
1 Tsp of dried Rosemary
4ml of Stock
125Ml of White Wine
1 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
1 Tbsp of cornflour with water
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Sear the seasoned Lamb on all sides in a little Oil and place in a casserole dish.
(2) In the same pan fry the Onion, Leek, Carrot and Garlic, until they have softened.
(3) Stir in the Tomato Puree then add the Wine and Stock.
(4) Add the Peppercorns, Rosemary and Bay Leaves.
(5) Stir in the Cornflour mix and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
(6) Pour the sauce over the Lamb and place in the oven covered.
(7) Cook for 3 hours at 160c.

We served ours with Leeks, Carrots, Peas and roast Potatoes.

Bean and Pork Casserole

There was a good sized piece of Boneless Pork Shoulder in the discount fridge at the local supermarket, which was an ideal way to try out our home pickled green Walnuts.

Ingredients:-

Boneless Pork Shoulder
Potatoes
Carrots
Onion
Celery
Swede
200g Mixed Beans
2 Pickled Walnuts
Stock
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Basil
Mushrooms
Bay Leaves
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Soak you dried beans over night. We used a mixture of Black Eye Bean, Mung Beans and Rosecoco Beans.
(2) Cut the Pork into good sized cube and marinade in the Soy Sauce.
(3) Coat in a little Cornflour and fry to seal on all sides.
(4) Chop all the vegetables up and pop everything in the slow cooker with enough Stock to cover.
(5) Cook on High for about 6 hours into the Pork is tender.

The strange addition of Pickled Walnuts added a very slight Tannin back taste  which worked really well. As far as the Vegetables go, we just needed to clear what we had in the fridge.
