Pulled Pork Ploughman's

Pulled Pork Ploughman's

We had a whole boned Pork Shoulder for £5.38 in the freezer. As one meal this would have been excessive and over budget. It’s also a slow roast gig. But we’ll most likely get 6 servings from the meat over the next few days.

For the Pulled Pork.

Ingredients:-

Pork Shoulder
A pint of Stock
Oil
Salt & Pepper
Onions
Rosemary
Garlic cloves, halved

Method:-

(1) Pour the stock into a casserole dish and add the Onions roughly chopped.
(2) Lay a couple of sprigs of Rosemary over the top.
(3) Stab the Pork with a sharp knife and push the halved Garlic into the meat.
(4) Season with Salt & Pepper and rub well with Oil.
(5) Cover with foil and place in the oven at 160c
(6) Leave to roast very slowly for at least 5 ½ hours.

We did actually end up with reasonable crackling, which is rare with a home frozen joint. So we served the pulled Pork with crackling over the top, home fermented Kimchee (Recipe here), Garlic and Clive Cheese and hand cut chips. A bit of Piccalilli and it was a very taste and simple supper. 

The stock and Onions are in a jar in the fridge and will make the base for an outstanding gravy!

Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Loin

Loin is one of the leanest cuts of Pork and has a bit of a tendency to dry out when roasted. But not if you stuff it! Also we’re more than happy to throw a few bits and bobs from the fridge at it if it’s wearing a yellow sticker….

Ingredients:-

Two tbsp Creme Fraiche
An Onion, finely chopped
Blue Stilton, crumbled
Garlic, minced
Mushrooms, finely sliced
Margarine
Fresh Parsley, chopped
DIY Garlic Butter (Margarine here)
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Sautee the Onion and Garlic in the Margarine until softened.
(2) Add the Mushrooms.
(3) Add the Parsley.
(4) Stir in the Creme Fraiche
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(6) Simmer to reduce for 10 minutes.
(7) Put pockets in the Pork Loin.
(8) Spread the sauce in the pockets and add crumbled Blue Cheese.
(9) Rub Garlic Butter over the rind.
(10) Roast in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 40 minutes or until it’s cooked and the sauce is oozing out.

We served ours with roast Potatoes, Parsnips, Peas & Carrots, Yorkshire Puddings and lots of gravy.
