What to cook? Rugby World Cup is calling. Today I need to watch Ireland vs Argentina and, more importantly, Scotland vs Australia. So that's me planted firmly in front of the TV from 1pm till 7! I need something that will cook while I watch the rugby and be a delicious Sunday dinner.
I have always been a fan of slow cooked cheaper cuts of meat so my choice for today is pork shoulder.
I spotted one of those oval enamel roasters with a lid last year in Aldi and snapped it up. My grandmother used to have one in her kitchen. She used to do an amazing roast chicken in it. I have used it for today's pork.
Pre heat the oven to 150 C
You will need:
Shoulder of pork joint (3 - 4 lb)
Onion
Leek
Carrots
Garlic
Potatoes
White wine
Stock or water
Fennel seeds
Salt and pepper
Cut the veg into chunks or slices - I left them in fairly large chunks - scatter in the bottom of your roasting vessel (if you don't have a roaster like mine you can use a big casserole or roasting tin with foil covering).
Sprinkle the veg with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of fennel seeds.
Place the pork on top.
Pour over around 500 ml white wine (or cider, or beer) and 200ml stock (I use chicken stock for pork) or water.
Cover and put in the oven.
After 2 hours (during the break between the two rugby matches) take the lid off and cook for a further 2 hours
Take the pork out and let it rest in a warm place for half an hour
Turn the oven up to 180C and let the veg and potatoes brown a bit more in the oven.
Easy one pot delicious Sunday dinner 😋
Now let's hope Scotland win the Rugby! 🏈
