GIDEON SE VARKSTERTJIES IN DIE OOND
Ek het vir aandete saam met lekker smash die varkstertjies in die oond gebak en julle sallie glo hoe lekker en maklik dit is nie Trek die stertjies se velle af en sny met ‘n skerp mes snytjies kruis en dwars oor die vleis.
Pak dit dan oop op ‘n snyplank en besprinkel met sout na jou smaak.
Sprinkel nou Worcestersous oor en vryf dit mooi in die snytjies in en sprinkel ‘n klein bietjie chillie flakes oor.
Pak die stertjies in ‘n oondvaste bak en bedek met foelie (geen ander vloeistof nie).
Bak in die oond vir 2 ure op 160°C.
Stel dan die oond na 180°C en bak vir nog ‘n uur en verwyder die foelie.
Stel die oond op stadige grill no1 en grill stadig vir omtrent 20 min tot ‘n lekker sagte crisp gevorm is.
Ons het dit saam met lekker smash geëet en ek het daai sousie so in ‘n holtetjie in die smash geskep.
Hmmmmmmmmm djeeeerlik!

KRAKERIGE PORK BELLY
Enigste foto wat ek kon neem met die funksie van Saterdagaand, dit is voordat ek dit opgesny en met pynappelstukke en kersies versier het.
Vel goed droog gemaak, in blokkies gesny (net deur die vel), nuwe matmessie of ‘n arts en craft messie werk die lekkerste..
Sprinkel genoeg sout oor en vryf die sout goed in, sit in bakplaat oornag in die yskas, moenie bedek nie.
Haal volgende dag uit, vee al die waterigheid met handdoekpapier af tot goed droog, sprinkel ‘n bietjie sout oor. Continue reading→

ROAST PORK LOIN
1,3 kg pork loin with fat layer skin removed
4 heaped tablespoons pork lard
salt and pepper

Heat oven to 160°C. Spread the pork lard over the bottom of roasting dish with back of spoon. Cut cubes into the fat side. Sprinkle the loin around all sides with salt and freshly ground pepper and place in the dish with fat side up. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes per 500 g plus 20 minutes for medium done.
You can add partly boiled potatoes to the roasting dish. Ensure the potatoes are coated in the pork fat and sprinkle them with salt. No need to turn over as you are going to set the oven on grill at the end of roasting to ensure the fat crisp up and get that golden brown colour. This will make the potatoes brown too.
Allow the meat to rest in warm place for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Serve with mustard and apple sauce.
