This recipe is definitely not for those who don’t like meat and fruit cooked together. To be honest I’m not quite sure if I would like it. I find the banana in it a bit strange, but I guess the peanut butter, dates and chilli might be OK. I leave it up to you to decide.
With the price of lamb and beef at the moment, pork has become a more economical choice of meat to use. Although this recipe says to use pork medallions from the loin, I think you could use a cheaper cut of pork as there’s plenty of flavour in the mustard, onion and chilli sauce. You just need to cook it a little bit longer, until it’s nice tender.
I really like the look of these little gems that come from a Pork Promotion Centre leaflet. Pork mince moulded around cabanossi or kabana (if your a Victorian like me) has a lot of appeal. They’d make a tasty change from meatballs I reckon.
This is the first time I’ve seen cocoa powder used in a pork recipe – it seems very strange, especially when you add in the brown sugar and nutmeg, then cook it in milk and garlic. It comes from a recipe sheet put out by the Pork Promotion Centre, so I guess it works. Are you brave enough to try it? Not sure I am.
I often cook lamb over a bed of onions, but haven’t tried cooking pork that way. It looks quite delicious in this recipe, especially the with addition of the two sauces and honey brushed over and then the apple, sage and wine sauce to served with it. The added bonus is that the apple, sage and wine sauce is a good gluten free substitute for gravy.
With this one from the Herald Sun ‘Second time around’ column, there’s a combination of two great things – ham and barbeque. Or maybe it’s three if you add in fresh pineapple………..
After all the Christmas cooking it’s great to have some easy recipes to use up all the lovely leftovers. This is another from the Herald Sun cooking page ‘Second time around’ and jazzes up plain ham and eggs.
This week’s recipes come from a Herald Sun cooking page with the title ‘Second time around’. After all the Christmas cooking it’s great to have leftovers, but you do start to run out of ideas on how to serve them. These toasts can be made using ham, turkey or chicken and that makes them a winner.
This isn’t a dish for my family as they don’t like recipes that have a meat and fruit combination, which is a shame as I think it would be worth trying. The chilli kick in the base and the coconut in the topping certainly add a lot of interest.
I’ve already posted a recipe for Pumped Leg of Lamb, but instead of boiling the meat this recipe bakes it in dough and then coats it with a marmalade glaze. That makes it a bit more work, but the result could be quite good. Although the original recipe suggests either mutton or lamb, pork would also work very well.
