apple sauce?

[nickmo]

Well as you ask so nicely. My own take on a French dish:

Cut loin into medallions, dust with seasoned flour and fry gently til browned. Remove from pan.

Add some chicken stock, diced apple and raisins to pan, and reduce by 2/3. Add a tbsp of ginger jam to pan with mascarpone and heat through, scraping up the bits in the pan.

Season. Return pork to pan and heat. Turn out and serve on bed of wild rice, or red rice, or plain rice - cooked in stock - with side of green veg.

Or have a nice buttery mash - celeraiac, parsnip and swede or whatever is in season - and have a nice crisp dry white wine - or a good fruity cider - to wash it down.

Could add fresh seasonal mushrooms at 2nd stage. Could add a little paprika. Could use frylight and creme fraiche for a fat free meal.

Or make meatballs out of the pork - mince, season, form into balls and fry off. Make a sauce with the mascarpone and some cream and touch of nutmeg -adds a flavour to pork nicely.

Or fry medallions of the pork in olive oil and butter, remove from pan, add sliced onions and cook til clear, slug of whit wine to deglaze, tbsp of grain mustard,mascarpone and little cream, heat, season, return pork , heat and serve as above with griddled asparagu - as its now in season.

Or roast the loin, and make a sauce with roast pine nuts, mascarpone, marsala wine and diced sun dried tomato to dress it.

Any good?

I do this usually once a week

Fry the pork loins in olive oil, chopped garlic, chopped chilli and chopped ginger. Fry for a couple of minutes each side just to seal.

Then, put the above including the garlic, chilli etc into a wok and add a tin of coconut milk. Also add any veg of your choice. I always add chopped onion, peppers, mushrooms and pineapple....but the choice is yours.

Simmer all the above in the wok until the sauce starts to thicken. I also add a squirt or two of lemon juice and some brown sugar just to sweeten it up a bit (add a small pinch at a time and taste after just so you get it right).

Just as the sauces reduces and starts to thicken, i add a carton of cream and reduce further.

Keep stirring all the time....especially in the latter stages as it will burn.

Serve with honey roasted new potatoes

Coat the pork loin with dijon mustard and some rosemary - leave in the fridge overnight. Bake whole. Easy and heavenly!!!
