A simple recipe for Pork from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. I eat pork very rarely, but when i do it must be organic or outdoor reared.Like Diana, I particularly recommend Gloucestershire Old Spot if you can get it. Serve this dish with rice and stir fried greens or a watercress or spinach salad.
Another favourite pudding from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You can use any sweet bread or fruit loaf to make the crumbs for this. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
