Pork Loin

[fallenempires]

I usually roast it just studded with garlic and stuff in some thyme and yes it's lovely but I fancy a change.
Any ideas for what I can do for our Sunday dinner,it's a 2kg joint.

What about pulled pork? Loads of recipes online. I also like to do it in cider with apples or pears and onion. Makes a delicious gravy and the pork very tender.

cut it and en croute it, with stuffing with chorizo. One of our faves.

LuisSuarezTeeth(love the name btw)that sounds lovely!Do you cook it in the slow cooker or in the oven?
Onesleep will def give that a try another time as we're already having chorizo this week

Do you mean the pork in cider? I put sliced onions in the bottom of a roasting tin and sit the pork on top. Then add a can of cider and a couple of chopped apples. A sprinkle of sage and pop in the oven on Hugh for 20 mins, then cover with foil and cook at about 160 until juices run almost clear. Then I rest it for a good half hour and thicken the juices with flour to make the gravy. Add salt and pepper and maybe a pinch of sugar to taste. Serve the apples with the pork but strain the onions off if you like.

I always undercook any joint as the resting finishes it off without losing juices or making it tough

High not Hugh - who's he?

Thanks LST will go raid DP's Magners

Oooh, the pork in cider sounds good! I've currently got a loin of pork marinating in hoisin sauce, honey, sugar, ginger, garlic and 5 spice (I've vaguely followed Gok Wan's recipe for Char Sui pork). Smells pretty good already, though I'm hoping that isn't lost upon cooking!

That sounds good.Are you leaving it to marinade overnight?

Not pork, but it could work - I just marinaded shoulder if lamb in cumin, garlic, paprika, balsamic vinegar and redcurrant jelly. Served with naan bread and mint mayonnaise, red onions and peppers.

I chuck the cheap pork cuts in the slow cooker (trimmed of fat) with a can of strongbow (not found another cider that works well), garlic and black pepper, with a bit of chopped onion. A few hours later add some (think it's bisto best pork, little jar) gravy granules/powder and serve with mash/sweet mash mix. It's absolutely gorgeous, and so easy. Only the cheaper cuts work though.
