Schwartz Somerset Pork Casserole Mix, 36g

Product Information

Slow cooker dinners are just MADE for the autumn, warming, comforting family dinners you can spoon over over creamy mashed potatoes – so good!

Creamy pork and cider casserole with crème fraiche is fantastic. But you can still get the creaminess with a splash of double cream, soured cream, or Greek or natural yoghurt. Alternatively, stir in some gravy granules. I used beef gravy granules, but you can use pork gravy granules if you have them. What To Serve With A Pork Casserole Melt the butter in a large, lidded, flameproof, heatproof dish over medium heat on the hob. Step TwoI t's truly easy to make. You basically just put all of the ingredients in a casserole dish and then pop it in the oven. You barely have to do any work! To put the casserole together just brown the meat, add it to the casserole dish with the chopped vegetables and pour over the homemade casserole sauce. If you have any leftover casserole you can cool it properly and store it in the fridge and use it the next day. Step 6. Take out of the oven and bring to a low simmer on the stove. Stir in the cream and cornflour slurry,heating it through for 3-4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Slow cooker Instructions

Remove most of the visible fat from the pork, including the rind or skin (if there is any) and cut into 1-and-a-half to 2-inch sized pieces. Using your oven gloves, carefully put the casserole into the oven. Cook for 45 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through, and serve. Vegetables - this is up to you, but at the very least I would use potatoes, onions and leeks. You can add other root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips and swedes. I also like to add plenty of chopped mushrooms. You can use any mushrooms you like. I like to use brown chestnut mushrooms, but white button mushrooms or large portobello mushrooms work just as well. To make this pork casserole recipe, start with your cubes of pork shoulder. (I use pork shoulder steaks, and cut them up into cubes, just because I like to be able to cut some of the fat off. You don’t need to, as the fat would melt away, but if you do, it makes it more healthy or Slimming World friendly if you’re following that plan.) If you prefer to have some crispy apples also, heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a skillet and stir to melt. Add 2 sliced apples and fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly caramelised. Serve these with your pork casserole. ServingsuggestionsHeat the rest of the oil in the casserole and brown the pork in 2 batches, setting it aside with the bacon when ready. Put the shallots in the pan and fry until golden all over. Set aside with the pork and bacon. Herbs– there are lots of herbs you can add to pork; I used 2 tsp dried mixed herbs and 2 bay leaves.
