Pork and Cider.... Moroccan style

-

Lynsey wanted pork and cider, I fancied something quick and easy.... So here is my Moroccan Meets Pork and Cider recipe.

1. Finely chop a large red onion and a large pepper. Lightly fry half the onion and all the pepper in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a bowl with ~200g of cous cous. Add 200mL of stock (lamb works well), stir, cover with cling film, and leave the cous cous to absorb the liquid.

2. Re-using the same pan, fry the remaining onion and enough diced pork for two people for about 3 minutes. Crush a teaspoon of coriander seeds and mix with a teaspoon of ground ginger. Add to the pan and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add a generous teaspoon of honey, two teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, and a good glug (4 tablespoons ??) of cider. Stir and allow the liquid to boil before turning down the heat. Add finely chopped broccoli florets to pan, cover and steam them for 5 minutes. Serve with the cous cous, and possibly a small salad.

Enjoy. I did get a picture of mine on my camera phone, I'll have to try and upload it.
Edit: Done (quality of the picture and the setting were a bit rubbish).

Summery Salmon

This is probably the first "summery" meal I've cooked this year. It's well and truly time the casserole dishes were left in the cupboard and the salad bowl was getting more use, but the weather hasn't exactly been normal. This is a quick and easy salmon dish for one - my wife (less fish-loving) had some chilli con carne from the freezer. 1 salmon fillet (or similar) 1 courgette 1 pepper 2 tomatoes or handful of cherry tomatoes balsamic vinegar Roughly chop the courgette, pepper and tomatoes (if using large, or leave whole if cherry). Add to a roasting dish, toss with oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 mins on 170°C (fan). 10 minutes before the veg is done, heat a little oil in an oven safe frying pan, place the salmon skin side down in the pan. Turn off the heat, allow approximately 1 minute and transfer the pan to the oven. Drizzle the veg with balsamic vinegar. Serve, pouring the balsamic glaze from the roast veggie...

Autumn Sausage Surprise

-
Autumn is Apples. So, with a little inspiration from the River Cottage Everyday series I created this. The surprise is the slightly wacky ingredient. Ingredients 4 free-range Pork Sausages 1 Onion 2 large Carrots 1 Apple 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar 100 mL Ginger Beer Method Peel or scrub the carrots, slice into batons, drizzle with oil and a generous grinding of black pepper. Put in an oven at 180 °C to cook for 1 hour. Lightly fry the sausages, just to add colour, for 1-2 minutes. Allow a little of the pork fat to colllect in the frying pan. Add to the carrots when there is 30 minutes of cooking time remaining. Peel, core and cut the apple into 8 pieces. Gently fry these in the residual pork fat until the sides have coloured. This will give them some protection against turning to pulp in the oven and also give them a meaty flavour. Add to the carrots and sausages 10-15 minutes before serving. Finally, fry the sliced onion in any residual pork fat, on a medium heat. Allow the onion to colo...
