We tend to get stuck in a loop with vegetables for some reason. Peas, Red Cabbage and spuds seem to have become our “Go-To” choice recently. So we thought we’d have a bit of a change yesterday. Although the Spuds are still there….
Because of the global supply network, be it a good or (more probably) bad thing the majority of regularly used vegetables are available all year round in the supermarkets and local retailers. But if you buy seasonal veg you will notice that they tend to be UK grown more often than not. This has to be a good thing surely?
All UK grown and with a bit of slow roast Pork shoulder and home made gravy it was a meal your granny would have been proud of on a very cost effective budget.
There are quite a few far eastern student at the University of York campus just up the road from us. This is great news as a micro economy has developed with several Chinese supermarkets within walking distance. The Garlic Chilli Sauce was a bit of a novelty buy at £1.29 but it doesn't take any prisoners! It does however work really well as a marinade.
Ingredients:-
Pork loin steaks, cut into strips
1 tbs Chinese Garlic Chilli Sauce
Plain flour
Method:-
Marinade the Pork in the Garlic Chilli Sauce for half an hour, making sure it is evenly coated
Add the flour and stir so it sticks and coats all the outside
Fry in a deep fat fryer in batches at 180c until golden brown
