Sweet and sour pork

Sweet and sour pork...

Sweet and sour pork Sweet and sour pork with this homemade sweet and sour sauce is just fantastic. I often have sweet and sour pork at Chinese restaurans but prefer strips of meat as opposed to cubes which seem to be most popular in Chinese retstaurants. The meat is thinner,  more tender and is cooked in hot oil which makes the batter crisp. (2 servings on it’s own or 4 servings with another dish like the lemon...

Crisp pork rasher slab

Crisp pork rasher slab...

I am a big fan of pork rashers on the braai that have been marinaded and have recently experimented with a nice big slab of pork belly to get a big piece of crispy skin. This recipe is really very simple and the results are incredible. Crispy crackling and juicy meat fit for a king. You may need to ask the butchery at your supermarket to cut you a piece of belly, which they will do happily.

Pork Chops supreme

Pork Chops supreme...

Oh man these are so good. I don’t often eat Pork but when I do this is how I usually cook them. They are so tasty and an almost unexpected flavor that keeps you coming back for more. I once saw Nigella pound her pork chops with a rolling pin to make them a little thinner before cooking and can recommend it if your chops are quite thick. Pork really needs to be quite well cooked with no pink inside. This is good...

Cuban spicy Chorico This has become one of my all time favorite recipes that takes about 10 minutes to prepare. I made it one day for a few mates who came over to watch the rugby and now I can’t seem to get rid of them. I first had it at a Cuban restaurant in Cape town and just could not get enough of it so had to get a recipe going and here it is! It can be spicy or mild but I would recommend as spicy as you can...
