Slow roast Pork Shank

Slow roast Pork Shank recipe

We’re in the cheap seats / meats again! Pork Shank for £1.29 This recipe takes a bit of time, but the meat is really tender and absorbs the flavour remarkably well. Oh and Sue had a few choices of vegetables, so she cooked them all it seems!!!!

Ingredients:-

1 Carrot
1 Onion
1 Potato
1 Bay leaf
A sprig of fresh Fennel (We have an Edible Garden nearby)
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 tbsp Coriander seeds
4 cloves of Garlic
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Salt & Pepper to taste

Method:-

(1) In a large pan boil the Pork shank with all the above ingredients in enough water to cover the meat for an hour.
(2) Reserve the boiling Stock for later use or to make a soup from.
(3) Remove the Shank and allow to cool to room temperature.
(4) Cut the skin hoizontally half inch intervals.
(5) Sit the Shank in a roasting tray with some of the Stock and roast at 190C for about an hour.
(6) 20 minutes before removing from the oven increase the temperature to 220 to crisp the skin.

As you can see we had a few bits of veg with ours! Oh and the obligatory giant Yorkshire Pudding. I mean a roast dinner without Yorkshire Pudding would be travesty…..

Club Sandwich

We’re members of various food groups, I guess that’s no great surprise. But at this time of year they always full of question about what to do with leftover Turkey, Han, Chicken etc. Generally people buy and cook too much over the festive season and find themselves with lots of cooked meat in the fridge. This wasn’t the case here as we’d had a Chicken dinner the evening before and just had the usual amount left over. But for the second out of three meals from one Chicken this was a pleasant change and is also a great way to use up other excess cooked meats.

Ingredients:-

3 slices of bread per person (Gluten free for us)
Mayonnaise
Tomatoes, sliced
Salad
Bacon
Chicken, or other cooked and chilled meat.

Method:-

(1) Toast the bread.
(2) Grill or fry the Bacon.
(3) Freestyle layering your ingredients however you like.
(4) Sliced the sandwich from corner to corner.
(5) Drive a kebab skewer through the whole thing to hold it together.

We served outs with a little leftover hand cut Coleslaw and it was remarkably filling.
