Comments on: Stuffed Pork Fillet https://dinnerdiary.org/2009/08/09/stuffed-pork-fillet/ A (photo) diary of our dinners Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:55:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Jeanne https://dinnerdiary.org/2009/08/09/stuffed-pork-fillet/comment-page-1/#comment-8464 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:55:12 +0000 http://dinnerdiary.org/?p=3357#comment-8464 We usually do our stuffed pork fillet on the braai – Nick has it down to a fine art! Our favourite stuffing is pears & sage, which works well because it doesn’t have to be cooked – as soon as the pork is barely done, you can whip it off.

Generally we don’t have a problem with pork being fry unless it’s a stuffed dish that requires a longer cooking time.

I actually had that very pork dish at the River Cafe earlier this year and I didn’t like it. The texture just didn’t work for me and I found the lemon overpowering.

We’re not in a position to get our pork direct from the farm but we do have a very good butcher which is some consolation.

A lot of pork sold in this country is labelled ‘from the EU’ whatever that means while the good stuff we produce is shipped abroad. Even in butchers shops you often see the defrosted imported pork. It might be cheaper, but it’s no good really. I get mine direct from the farm. The best pork is from Berkshire pigs – it’s almost gamey. Real free range really does make a difference in texture (and succulence).

If you seal it and put it in a casserole dish and pour in hot cider you could roast it first with a lid/ foil which would steam/ roast it, then take the cover off at the end to crisp it up. When it”s finished cooking take it out to rest then use the cider to make a sauce.
It reminds me I did a river cafe pork loin recipe must be 12 years ago pot roasted in milk – and that was soft as you like….. http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Pork-Cooked-in-Milk it sounds weird, but it’s really nice. I did some green veg with it, and heated them up, then turned them into ramekins lined with parma ham and turned them out on to the serving plates and did some kind of balsamic sauce. The first time I’d invited my parents over – I was trying to impress…..

There is the issue of the sausagemeat in the middle needing to be cooked through, but that means that the lean pork on the outside gets overdone.

We were supposed to baste it often, but there wasn’t much liquid to baste it with; that’s probably where it went wrong. And the lack of gravy or sauce.

I like my pork slightly pink, helps keep it moist; it is safe to eat pink pork now.
