Pan Fried Mustard and Tarragon Pork Loin with Garlic and Black Pepper Mash

We've loved working with The Original Dad Bod (@originaldadbod) on this delicious pork creation. Trust us you'll want to give this recipe a whirl...

Ingredients: 

  • Morrisons bone-in pork loin
  • 1 shallot 
  • 5 garlic cloves 
  • Tbsp Morrisons Dijon mustard
  • 250ml Morrisons reduced fat creme fraiche 
  • 200ml vegetable stock 
  • 50ml white wine (Morrisons The Best Touraine Sauvignon)
  • Tbsp dried tarragon
  • Fresh rosemary (a few sprigs)
  • Fresh thyme (a few sprigs)
  • 3 medium sized potatoes 
  • 25ml skimmed milk
  • 4 tbsp olive oil 
  • 2 tbsp light butter 
  • Salt and pepper 
  • Green beans 

Method:

  1. Slice the fat on the pork loin to around 1/4 of an inch, and score it. Preheat the oven to 200°c.
  2. Combine the 2 garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, black pepper and olive oil and blitz in a food processor. Rub half of this on the fat side and half on the underside of the joint, adding a little salt.
  3. Roast for an hour before reducing the temperature to 150/160° and cook for another 40mins (cooking time is weight dependent). Internal temp should be around 65°c. Leave to rest before carving and serving.
  4. Peel and slice the potatoes into small chunks. Add them to a saucepan and cover with coke water before bringing to the boil (15 minutes or so). Remove and ensure the potatoes are dry.
  5. Finely slice the shallot and one garlic clove. Add 2 tbsp olive oil to a heated pan, allow the oil to heat. When hot, add the diced shallot and let it soften, with a little salt. After two minutes, add the garlic. Cook for a further two minutes. 
  6. Add the white wine and reduce until it’s disappeared. Add the mustard and creme fraiche, mix in with the shallot and garlic. Add the vegetable stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened.  
  7. Heat the butter, milk and remaining garlic in a pan slowly. Once heated, add the boiled potatoes and mash into the butter mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
  8. By this time, your sauce should be a nice, thickened consistency. Add the tarragon and let that simmer for a couple more minutes before plating up and serving.

BBQ Pulled Pork Shoulder

We've loved working with Big Welsh Man (@big_welsh_man) on this juicy pulled pork shoulder recipe. Enjoy the smoky and sweet flavours of this bone-in pork creation.

Ingredients: 

  • 1.5kg bone-in pork joint
  • 200ml beer

Ingredients to rub into the pork:

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp paprika 
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper 

BBQ Sauce Ingredients:

  • 150ml cider vinegar
  • 300g tomato ketchup 
  • 200ml water
  • 100g brown sugar
  • 3 tsp mustard powder
  • 3 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp hot sauce 
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper

Method

  1. Combine all the ingredients to rub into the pork into a bowl. Pat dry the pork leg joint with kitchen roll and then coat the whole joint in the rub and leave for 1 hour (or overnight for the best results).
  2. Put the pork into a slow cooker, or a casserole dish if you’re cooking the pork in the oven. Pour over the beer and set on a low/medium heat. Slow cook for around 8 hours.. If you are cooking in an oven, set it to 160*C 320*F and cook for around 6 hours.
  3. Once the meat is cooked discard any fat from the joint until you’re left with just the meat falling off the bone. Remove the bone and continue to pull apart the pork with forks until it’s all shredded. This is your pulled pork.
  4. To make the bbq sauce, combine all the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil, once boiling, drop to a medium simmer and cook for around 30 mins to reduce the sauce down to a syrup consistency. Once it coats the back of a spoon with a thick layer of sauce, then it’s ready. Proceed to add the pulled pork into the bbq sauce and mix together to combine. This is your BBQ pulled pork.
  5. Serve the BBQ pulled pork in a brioche bun with slaw and loaded fries.

  6. In a separate bowl, mix the gochujang paste with the soy sauce, sugar and a little hot water to help bind into a glaze.
  7. After 3.5 hours, take the pork out of the oven and remove the foil. Discard any water/juices and the aromatics. Carefully pour the glaze over the pork and brush for an even coating all around the pork. 
  8. Raise the oven temperature to 200C and place the pork, uncovered, back into the oven and roast for approximately 25 – 30 minutes. The pork should be a dark golden colour. 
  9. Remove from the oven and shred the pork away from the bone to capture all the juicy and flavoursome pork meat.
  10. Warm through the bao buns, add plenty of shredded pork, sliced kimchi, a drizzle of kimchi mayonnaise, sesame seeds and fresh coriander. Enjoy!
