WHAT GOES WITH PORK LOIN RECIPES

Steps:

• Lightly crush the fennel seeds with the leaves from the thyme and the garlic in a pestle and mortar. Add 1 tbsp oil and plenty of salt and pepper, then bash to a rough paste. Rub all over the pork, then cover and chill for up to 24 hrs, if you have time (2 hrs if not).
• Set your slow cooker to a low heat. Pour a kettleful of boiling water over the shallots, then set aside for 2 mins until cool enough to handle – this will make them easier to peel. Cut off the root and remove the papery skins. Heat the remaining oil in a large casserole or frying pan large enough to fit the pork. Brown the shallots for a few mins then tip into the slow cooker. Add the celeriac and apples, season well and give them a mix.
• Brown the pork in the same pan, on all sides, not forgetting the ends. Sit on top of the veg and apples, fat-side up, nestling the joint in a little so you can fit the lid on. Pour the wine into the frying pan and bubble for a minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any tasty bits. Pour in the stock, honey and mustard, bubble for another min, then pour over the pork. Cover with a lid and cook on low for 5-6 hrs (depending on slow cooker size), turning the pork and stirring the veg halfway through cooking.
• Remove the pork, wrap in foil and leave to rest for 10 mins before carving to serve alongside the veg with roast potatoes and greens.

Steps:

• To the base of your electric pressure cooker, add the pork loin filet. I cut ours in half so it would fit perfectly in the base.
• Add in the onions, carrots, pears, and potatoes.
• Pour the chicken broth over top.
• Pop the lid on and ensure the steam valve is closed.
• This will hold in all of the steam and pressure to cook the food quickly.
• Set the timer to 30 minutes and press start.
• Enjoy your home as the smell of dinner fills your home. All of these flavors smell just like fall and comfort food!
• Set the table for a cozy dinner- wild flowers and a candle. Have the kiddos set the table.
• When the food is done and the timer goes off, carefully open the vent to quick release. Let all of the pressure and steam release. This will take 1-2 minutes.
• Now, you can remove the lid. Now you can plate it up.
