A Pork Casserole

Filed under: Recipe — Matt Walton @ 15:20

This is really simple. I just finished eating a bowlful and it’s utterly gorgeous. I’m very vague on quantities.

Take about eight slices of streaky pork and cut into chunks. Chop a red onion and fry it in olive oil, then add two cloves of garlic, grated or crushed. Add six tomatoes cut into eighths, then the pork and stir well. Add herbs: perhaps sage and rosemary. A squirt of tomato purée, a dash of concentrated chicken stock, some hot water and some pearl barley (I have no idea how much I added – it just seemed like enough). Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer gently until the barley is soft and cooked through, then ladle into a bowl and enjoy with freshly baked bread, or by itself.

The rest will freeze nicely, or feed other people.

No picture; I’m too lazy today.
