Fruity Pork Casserole – Healthy Eating Recipe 5
It’s been really cold where we are today so I decided to do one of my favourite comfort food recipes for our meal this evening. It’s very quick to prepare though it takes a little while to cook unless you do it in the microwave. I have to say I prefer it done in the oven with Jacket Potatoes or Roasted Vegetables. There are quite a lot of veg in this recipe, you can peel them if you want to but I don’t bother.
1 lb (450 g) Pork fillet, trimmed and cubed
2 Cooking Apples, sliced
1 Onion peeled and sliced finely
8 ozs Prunes (without stones!)
2 Potatoes, cubed
4 tsp (20 ml) fresh sage, finely chopped – or half this quantity if dried
10 fl ozs (300 ml) good dry cider (you can use stock if you prefer)
Mix together the cider or stock and the Sage
Put all the other ingredients in a large casserole dish. Pour in the liquid. Cook at 190C, 375F or Gas mark 5 for about 90 minutes or until tender.
If you want to do this in the microwave reduce the liquid by half and cook according to the instructions for your microwave, adding more liquid if necessary.
Told you it was easy!
