… the main

This dish would be ideal for mid week. If you subscribe to the multi-tasking method when you're spending time in your kitchen, prepare more veggies and par boil or roast them - whatever you fancy – for the sake of this exercise I par boiled parsnips and potatoes.

Slow cooked pork with

Calvados cream sauce

1.5kg ish joint of pork – boned and rolled

1 vegetable stock pot/cube

generous sprinkle of dried herbs – sage or

thyme

2 tsps of garlic paste

Place your pork in the slow cooker and, if you are using a stock pot, mix the garlic and stock together and spread over the joint. Sprinkle with herbs. Switch your slow cooker on low and leave it for 8 hours.

Here it is :

In readiness for the sauce, you'll need to reserve approximately 200ml of stock from the cooked pork - strain, cover and fridge until cold and ready for use.

It looks good enough to eat!
