My Pork Recipes.
Pork is generally an inexpensive meat. I have put together some easy and slow cooking pork recipes that I have tried. Please send feedback and comments if you’ve tried any…
SWEET MUSTARD PORK LOIN STEAKS
- 10 Pork Loin Steaks medium thickness.
- 200g Seeded Mustard
- 300g Breakfast or Orange Marmalade
- 2 Teaspoon crushed Garlic
- 300ml Canola Oil
- 1 Cup Fresh chopped Parley
- Pinch of Salt and pinch of White Pepper.
- Mix all ingredients except pork with a whisk until all blended together.
- Add pork steaks, marinade well and refrigerate until required for cooking.
- Pan fry with a little oil or can be BBQ grilled.
Serve with a nice crisp salad.
**The marinade can be used the smother a whole Pork Loin Roast. Cut small pockets into the roast and stuff with garlic, fresh rosemary and sun-dried tomatoes for a difference. Another trick is when making your own schnitzel, coat the pork steak with the marinade before crumbing. The marinade taste will infuse the steak and give the schnitzel a unique taste.

PORK BELLY ROAST WITH CRISPY SKIN CRACKLE
- 1.5kg Bone In Skin On Pork Belly.
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon White pepper
- 1/2 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Coriander Powder
- Pat dry Pork Belly Skin with paper towel.
- Score skin cross ways by using a sharp knife to make cuts into skin. Try not to cut into the meat,
- Mix all dry ingredients together and rub well all over Pork. Ensure Pork Skin has a good amount rubbed in.
- Place in fridge on a plate UNCOVERED over night skin facing up. We want the Skin to get dry. If moisture appears then dab off with paper towel.
- Next day. Pre heat oven to as hot as possible 250° and add Pork Belly on a rack in a baking dish.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Next turn oven down to 180° and finish baking for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
- Remove from oven. Let stand for 5 minutes.
The skin should be nice and crispy. Cut into portions and listen for that crunch. I learnt this method from my Malaysian work mate who is an expert on roasting Pork Belly.
