Country Pork Casserole
This dish is a traditional old-fashioned favorite that has been around for generations.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork fillet
- 1 oz flour
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 onions sliced
- 1-2 leeks sliced
- 1-3 celery sticks diced
- 1 small green pepper seeded and diced
- 8 oz tomatoes roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar
- 1/4 pint chicken stock
- 1 - 2 tablespoons tomato p
Instructions
- Cut the pork into neat slices. Blend the flour, salt and pepper and use to coat the meat lightly. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan, fry the pork slices on either side until golden brown and transfer to a casserole.
- Add the onions, leeks and celery to the pan and fry gently for 10 minutes; do not allow the vegetables to brown. Spoon these vegetables over the pork then add the pepper and tomatoes.
- Pour the lemon juice or vinegar, chicken stock and tomato puree into the pan; stir well to absorb any meat juices, season to taste, then spoon over the pork and vegetables.
- Cover the casserole and cook in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
- The fillet is the leanest cut of pork and also the most tender – it is sometimes called tenderloin. For this dish it is not necessary to buy the fillet in one piece.
