Undercooked pork - help!

I cooked a shoulder of pork this morning, juices ran clear and it seemed ok so I left it to cool on the bench. Went upstairs for couple of hours and when I came back downstairs to start making lunch, there was blood on the plate underneath the joint.
Managed to get enough meat from the outside for lunch, but loads left and not cooked inside - can I salvage it at all, maybe boil for soup? :undecided:question:

Dont think of it as being half cooked, make casseroles etc and treat it as if it hasnt been cooked at all.

The warnings about making sure pork is well cooked go all the way back to the days when you could pick up tapeworm from eating undercooked pork. No pork you buy will give you tapeworm these days - it's not like salmonella in chicken, they have been able to eradicate it from pig production with worming tablets.
So relax and chop it up and use in in something like fajitasIt doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!0 -

Shame - I could do with a tapeworm to help with my diet :rotfl:
and yes, I am joking.... mostly 0 -
I too would treat is as uncooked. but, I would make sure that any dish I made from it cooked it at high heat. stir fry would be ideal or cooked in a casserole (but not slow cooked) where it could be brought to a boil early on.0

Happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I just cut slices from the edge for my roast and then diced the rest up and made risotto. Was perfectly fine.0
