Pork Cherry sauce & Tray Roasted Veg

Pork Cherry sauce & Tray Roasted Veg

It’s Prunus season. That’s Cherries first and then Plums for those who can’t be bothered with Latin names! Boneless Belly Pork at £2.19 didn’t look too promising in it’s wrapper. But it worked out really well!

Ingredients for the Tray Roast:-

Carrots
Red Onion
Mushrooms
Garlic
Plumbs
Cabbage
Chillies
Black Lime & 1/2 the juice of a Lemon
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Shake it all up with the Oil, Salt & Pepper
(2) Put it in a tray in the oven at 180C
(3) Watch some TV or have a glass of wine (We didn’t do either as we have no TV or wine!)
(4) Turn so that everything roasts evenly
(5) Serve!

Ingredients for the Cherry Sauce:-

Cherries
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Juice of ½ a Lemon

Method:-

(1) Place everything excluding the Lemon Juice in a sauce pan and boil.
(2) Once the Cherries have softened take the sauce off the heat and press through a sieve.
(3) Add the Lemon juice and bring back to a simmer.

Belly Pork:-

Score with a knife, rub with Oil, Salt & Pepper and roast at 180C until the crackling is crispy. I’m pretty sure nobody needs in-depth instruction here!

We demolished ours we a few boiled Garlic Spuds for a change and the whole thing was really taste. Sorry about the very casual approach today, but this is a really easy, quick and tasty recipe you can do while you’re fighting with you printer, washing machine or children!

I’m really not sure where Sue is getting these recipes from, or if she’s just making up silly names for them now!!! Let’s call it “Slow Asian style braised Belly Pork” ey?!!!

Ingredients:-

Belly Pork
Spring Onions, cut lengthwaysWe served ours over plain Rice Noodles and garnished with a few sliced Spring Onions. To say there are so few ingredients this really packed a punch, flavour wise. The Spring Onions effectively caramelize in the braising juices.
Ginger Sliced
Soy Sauce
Rock Sugar
Shaoxing Wine

Method:-

(1) Rinse the Belly Pork and blanch in Water for a couple of minutes.
(2) Drain and cut into quarters.
(3) In a pan place a good layer of Spring Onions on the bottom, add the ginger and then place the Belly Pork on top skin side down.
(4) Pour over the Shaoxing Wine (Rice Wine), Soy Sauce and sprinkle the Rock Sugar over the top.
(5) Cover the pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
(6) Reduce the heat and simmer for 90 minutes.
(7) Turn the Pork so it is skin side up and continue to simmer for a further 90 minutes.
(8) When ready to serve, spoon the liquid over the Belly Pork.
