What would you do with fillet of pork?

Pork medallions with thyme potato wedges

This sounds nice.

medallions...

give them a quick bash to thin them out, then place a thin slice of parma ham on top, then a sage leaf, and a slice of mozzarella if you're pushing the boat out...

Pan-fry on both sides for just a couple of minutes, until cooked through - but not so it starts going tough.

Serve with whatever veggies or salad you like, and imagine you're in the Med!

Don't mind sounding thick - is pork fillet the long sausage shaped one? i never buy it - but if it is that one - my sister has a nice recipe - I think it's J oliver one - don't know what's in it though. Not at all a helpful response from me!! losing the plot - the point being is it the long one?

Pork fillet in white wine sauce

I normally do this dish with a pressure cooker so the meat is nice and tender.

Ingredients:

pork fillet
1-2 small onions sliced
2 garlic cloves
5 tbs of olive oil
1 glass of white wine (in desesperation brandy or sherry!)
bayleaf
vegetable stock or maggy cube
salt and pepper to taste.

Put oil to heat and fry onions adding the meat to seal with the onions and garlic. Once the onions and pork have began to brown add wine, let it reduce and caramelise with onion. Once this has happen cover with stock. Set the pressure cooker and a the right setting (normally 1st in high and later reduce the heat) cook for around 25 minutes.

Open gently, remove the meat to cut in medallions and set in serving dish that can go either microwave or conventional oven, using a hand blender blend the onions into a sauce, but first remove the garlic as it might give a bitter taste to the sauce. You can always add a little cream to sauce - not really necesary - finally pour the sauce over the pork. Very tasty.

Serve with vegetables and potatoes. Normally I watched some potatoes and slice them longway into about 3 pieces drizzle olive oil some pepper and coarse salt.

Lovely

Yes, that's what I would call pork fillet, sometimes called pork tenderloin. But someone may put us both straight!

I made a spicy mix to go on chicken but I bet it works just as well on pork.

1/4 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper

Mix them all together then rub the pork in the mix.

Good Luck

Hi
I'm trying a cookery competition in a few weeks where we get an hour to prepare a supper dish for two. I've found a recipe online which is ideal for the theme, but the recipe doesn't give any cooking times, and not much guidance at all really! I'm not bad at cooking but do like to know how much to cook things for!
The reason this recipe is so good is because you can only use two gas rings during the competition - so no grill or oven (it's held in a shed on a farm!) anyway, the recipe is for stuffed pork fillet (stuffed with cheese and herbs) wrapped in ham. You roll the stuffed and wrapped pork in cling film and steam it - but I have no idea for how long! Then you leave it to cool and fry it in a frying pan, I know to do this to brown the ham, but I'd like an idea of for how long.
Before you ask, I'm going to try this recipe out a few times before the competition, but was just looking for an idea of cooking time (for the steaming especially) as I don't really want to give my boyfriend (or the judge) food poisoning!
Thanks in advance

Pork chops will steam in 30 mins (or just over) but if yours is stuffed it might take a little longer?

Thanks Skint_Catt.
Just bumping this message in case any one else has any ideas?
I've seen the instruction manual for an electric steamer on the web which says pork fillet will steam in 10-15 minutes - does this sound about right or no where near enough time?
Most similar recipes need you to put it in an oven to bake - something I can't do for this comp!

10-15 mins doesn't sound long enough to me but I suppose it depends on how thick your pork is though. As a guide, my Tefal steamer cookbook tells you to steam chicken legs for 25 mins or a whole chicken for an hour. There is a recepie in there for pork fillet which takes 12 mins, but that isn't rolled and in my experience rolled, stuffed joints take longer. I think that you need to experiment a bit!
