  • you could dip it in a batter and fry it


    Oooh that's a good idea. I have some batter left from my latest attempt at yorkshire puds. What could I put with it?

    I've some mushrooms in and some peppers.

    Hi MSM

    There are loads of pork threads here! I'm jealous of your dinner!

    Pork belly

    Leftover roast pork


    Pork steaks/cubes need using up

    What can i do with diced pork?


    Also - I searched but couldn't find anything should help you learn the search function - it taught me! If you put "pork " in as the search word, you will see all the pork threads

    I'll merge this later when you get more input
    thanks

  • my favourite way is to mix 1/2 bottle of sweet chilli dip with a desert spoon of medium curry powder. pour over the slices and cook in a hot oven till sauce is thickened and sticky(about 45 mins)...delish
  • Hiya, whenever i have cooked them i have found that i prefer them when i grill them...or better still barbecue them (on a dry day). The fat tends to get chargrilled and chewy :-)

    I like mine simple, put them in a roasting tin fat side up, rub the skin with a little oil, sprinkle salt over and roast until the meat is tender and the crackling all crispy.

    A much under-rated cut of meat, IMHO. OK, it's fatty, but meat needs fat to cook in and you cook it in that fat.

    I basically do the same in a frying pan, but wipe it with just enough oil to stop the pan burning at first.

    Also look out for rolled belly pork joints, sometimes ready stuffed. I unroll them and then roast them just like "anguk" says, although I do use a wire rack.
