G & R Tudge - try this delicious recipe from our local celebrity chef - Shaun Hill


CELEBRITY CHEF

“The Shopping is as important as the oven temperature with any pork cookery. Dismal, dry supermarket specimens will need magic rather than skill or a smart recipe to convert into anything worth eating. Similarly it would be a shame to rub strong spices into a rare breed piece of pork so the best course must be to highlight natural flavour and make best use of cooking juices from the meat.”

Shaun Hill, the Michelin starred chef of The Merchant House, Ludlow
Shaun Hill was voted one of the top twenty chefs in the world in 2002

Shaun Hill cooking our Pork at The Bury.

Shaun Hill has supported us since 1996 when we first acquired 7 Berkshire pigs. Berkshire Pork features regularly on his menu at The Merchant House Restaurant in Ludlow and he has kindly given us the following recipe for you to try with our pork, it won’t taste the same if you use anyone else’s!


Loin of Pork with Whole Grain Mustard Sauce - for 4 persons

Ingredients

800g well trimmed pork loin
1tbsp. sunflower oil
salt/pepper
1 pealed shallot
1 small stick celery
1 small carrot
1 tsp plain flour
1 tbsp. whole grain mustard
50ml. red wine
50 ml. water
1 tbsp. capers

Method

Season the loin with salt and pepper, then brush with oil.

Heat a roasting tray, then place the vegetables and meat - fat side down - to sear. This may be a touch smoky, but the idea is to start crisping and caramelising the fat so that it is sweet and well done by the time the eye of the meat is just cooked.

Place the roasting tray in a moderate oven – 175C – cook until done – probably no more than 40 minutes.

Lift the meat onto a plate or rack to settle while you make the sauce. Pour off almost all the fat and, over a low flame, stir in the flour. Use a wooden spoon to dislodge any residues stuck to the roasting tray and then add wine and water. Stir back to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Strain the gravy into a small saucepan and add the mustard and capers. Bring to the boil. Add any juices which may have seeped from the cooked pork and serve.

Delicious!
