A Couple of Recipies... My Turn To Cook Dinner!

 It was my turn to cook dinner. Sweet & Sour Pork I decided.

The pork is marinating and the vegetables chopped.

 The end result... It was delicious, there was none left!

RECIPE

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari

1 egg white

Put all in a bowl add pork pieces and chill 1 hour

Prepare whatever vegetables you like, chopped into

similar size and shaped pieces

Heat a little oil in a pan and cook pork pieces till brown.

Lift out and put aside.

Add a little more oil and stir fry vegetables till tender.

Lift out and put aside.

Sauce - In the same pan put

1 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1 tablespoon soya sauce or tamari

Bring to boil, stir in pork and vegetables

Add 1 can pineapple pieces and juice

Return to boil. Thicken with 2 tablespoons

cornflour mixed with 1/4 cup water.

Serve over rice, couscous, pasta or quinoa.

Then I made dessert... I was given a bag of limes

some of them Key Limes so I made...

KEY LIME PIE

Biscuit base... 1 pkt Digestive biscuits, crushed

130gr melted butter

2 tab sugar

Mix together and press into a tin with a removable base.

Can cook 8 minutes at 160deg or just chill.

 

 All sorts of limes... Even the little orange ones are limes...

Sour as, when I tasted them!

Separate 3 large eggs. Only use yolks - beat till thick & pale

add 1 can condensed milk, beat thoroughly

Slowly add 1/2 - 3/4 cup lime juice, beat till very thick

Soak 10gr gelatine in 3 tablespoons cold water in a

small pan for 10 minutes then heat gently till dissolved.

When cool stir into pie mix, pour over biscuit base. Chill

Scatter grated zest of 3 limes over the top.

Serve with whipped cream.

 Mmmm... Closely resembles a cheesecake but with a lovely

tart flavour. To make gluten free make the

base from crushed nuts... Hazel nuts are delicious.

Bon Appetit...
