What would you do with fillet of pork?

I have searched but cant find the info i need so if anyone could help that would be fab.
I picked up a pork fillet in reduced meat section in sainsburys this afternoon but have no idea how to cook it? I assume it goes in the oven but thats as far as I got ,,need to either freeze it or cook it tonight before it goes off ;-)
thanks for any help /advice/recipes

I take a whole fillet and fry gently in butter, oil and sage. When its golden brow ( about 45 minutes) I take it out and almost slice it down the middle and then stuff with slices of mature cheese spread with mustard. I put this back in the pan put the lid on and cook till the cheese melts. I then take it out and keep warm. I then add a small carton of cream to the pan with salt and pepper and stir into a sauce. I slice the fillet diagonally and serve with little crispy roast potatoes and a green veg such as kale ( and of course the sauce).
Yes it is very rich but we only have it very occasionally !

Ooo yummy, You can roast it but TBH as it is such a tender cut I tend to cut it into meadallions and pan fry and then make a quick creamy mustard sauce with the pan juices. Take your cooked medallions out and put somewhere to keep warm (low oven) and add a little flour to the pan to make a roux add milk and a little cream if you have to the roux and whisk out the lumps like a bechemal and add a good dollopy spoon of gritty mustard and maybe a touch of dijon to round out the flavour. Serve with potatoes (roast or mash) and veg.

The other thing I do with pork fillet if I'm feeling fancy or for a dinner party is to stuff it like a roulette cheese - you have to cut the fillet lenthways round and round to make a big flat bit of meat - hard to expain but like you're unrolling a roll of paper and then spead it with the stuffing before rolling it back up and tying it and roasting it for about half an hour to 45 minutes depending on how fat you've made it.

:j ooo thankyou they both sound lovely!! I will definitely not just roast it then will add some flavouring and pan fry and make a sauce methinks, glad I bought it now was £3 and its really long :-)

Have you tried delias fast roast pork with roasted apples? Really easy, in her hoe to cook book 2 am sure you would find it online, if not let me know and I will look it out. It is really quick and tasty.

Morning,
I've never cooked pork before as dh doesn't like it and I am a veggie but I spotted a yellow stickered piece in tesco the other day and couldn't resist it for the teenagers to try!
So what shall I do with it?? Teenagers will eat pretty much anything but not too spicey
Thank you x

Personally, I'd make it into a little chinese dish I often make.
throw strips In a frying pan with sesame seed oil. Add chopped onion and peas.
Add a little garlic, a big splash of rice vinegar, a splash of soy sauce, some 'thai 6 spice' seasoning, and some oyster sauce, and you have my own personal recipe for one of my favourite meals.
Add noodles or rice.

Failing that, I'd just add salt/pepper, and some garlic and rosemary and oven roast it.

Do they like garlic? I love it with garlic butter salt and pepper. It's a great tender cut of meat. I tend to either roast it or cook it 'en pappilotte' to keep the juices in as there's very little fat on it and it could get dry. Hope they enjoy it!

ETA: cross posted with Devilivus, that recipe sounds lovely too...might try it myself

I usually cut it length wise and stuff it. This thread has lots of lovely ideas:

just bought a pork fillet......any ideas?

I'll add this thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Cut it into portion pieces, then split each portion nearly through. Open them out , lay flat and beat them until quite thin. Coat each escalope in flour, egg and then into dry sage and onion mix.
Shallow fry, delicious.
