Some rather dried out pork loin chops from a few days ago in the fridge together with some apple slices that collapsed. Hey, ho - one has to make do with what we've got.
Potatoes are sprouting - so they're going in. Potatoes Boulangere - dead easy if you don't go easy on the onion and ignore the crap about using a mandolin. How the hell you can play a musical instrument while cooking defeats me. Thin slices of onion and potato in alternate layers in a smallish dish. Vegetable stock (chicken is fine) and some thyme, pour over and in the oven.
Fry up a little remaining onion and mash the apple remainder into it. Add plain flour and gently cook for a minute. Add cider (White Lightning is good for park benches, but poor for cooking. Add loin chops and gently bring to a simmer. Transfer to casserole dish and put in oven with potatoes.
Prepare green vegetable - I'm just getting the florets off some calabreese. There's a bit of sage and onion stuffing left over, so I'll cut it into very thin strips and fry them into crisps for a garnish. There's a many apple in the rack, so I'll caramellise it in slices at the same time.
Pudding - Co-Op profiteroles, strawberries and cream.
