An odd name for a recipe? It refers to the very old Simon and Garfunkel song “Scarborough Fair” which has Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme in the lyrics – Which were all in this crusting!
Ingredients:-
2 Slices of (Gluten free in our case) Bread, crumbed
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme – Fresh if you have it, or dried
1 Shallot, chopped
1 Egg beaten
Salt & Pepper
Oil
Method:-
(1) Lightly fry the Shallot until it has softened and set aside.
(2) Whisk the Egg.
(3) In a large bowl combine all the ingredients to form a stuffing sort of texture
(4) Press the crust onto the top of a Pork Shoulder joint and cover with foil.
(5) Roast at 180c for about 45 minutes.
(6) Remove the foil and roast for a further 10 minutes.
We served this with Sprout Bhaji in a bit (Gluten free ) Yorkshire Pudding, Carrots and Peas, Roast Spuds and lots of Onion Gravy.
Pork loin steaks are one of the cheapest cuts available at the moment. They can also be a bit dry so Sue effectively battered these which held the moisture in the meat and created a very tasty coating.
Ingredients:-
Pork loin steaks
Plain flour (Gluten free works fine)
Salt and Pepper
Chilli flakes
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Paprika
2 Eggs beaten
Oil to fry
White Wine Vinegar
Method:-
Flatten the Pork between cling film with a rolling pin (Good stress relief if you've had a bad day!).
Season the Flour with the other dry ingredients.
Dip in the beaten Egg then coat in the season flour mix.
Fry for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove most of the oil and add a good glug of White Wine Vinegar.
Fry for a further minute on each side.
We served ours with hand cut clips, a fresh salad and Coleslaw.
