STUFFED AND ROLLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove the flap of meat at the wider end of the tenderloin and trim the last two inches off of the narrow end of the tenderloin; chop trimmings and reserve.
• Cut from one side of the tenderloin through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Cut a few shallow slashes in the meat. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2-inch thick. Roll up pounded tenderloin, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to keep cold.
• Mix chopped pork trimmings, parsley, bread crumbs, currants, garlic, rosemary, egg, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl with a fork until stuffing is well-combined.
• Unroll tenderloin on work surface. Spread stuffing over tenderloin, leaving a 2-inch border on one of the long-sides. Roll up tenderloin, ending at the 2-inch border; tie meat with twine to secure shape. Season tenderloin all over with salt and black pepper.
• Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat until hot. Cook tenderloin in hot skillet until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 15 minutes before removing twine and slicing.

OLD-FASHIONED CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Cook cabbage in boiling water just until outer leaves pull away easily from head. Set aside 12 large leaves for rolls. In a small bowl, combine the beef, pork, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, onion, rice, parsley, salt, dill and cayenne; mix well., Cut out the thick vein from the bottom of each leaf, making a V-shaped cut. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture on a cabbage leaf; overlap cut ends of leaf. Fold in sides. Beginning from the cut end, roll up. Repeat., Slice the remaining cabbage; place in a Dutch oven. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam side down over sliced cabbage. Combine the tomatoes, sugar and remaining tomato sauce; pour over the rolls. Cover and bake at 350° until cabbage rolls are tender, 1-1/2 hours.

PORK ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix the pork, garlic and parsley together, you can add more garlic and or parsley and ground pepper to your taste. I buy the wrappers that are about 4in x 4in.
• Take about a tablespoon and a half lay it on the egg roll and roll according to package direction.
• When you get to the end of wrapping wet the tip of your finger and wet the corner of the wrapper and close. This should keep the roll closed.
• Let your oil heat and place the roll in the oil until golden brown or you feel that the pork is cook all the way.

SLOW-ROAST PORK ROLLS WITH APPLE CHILLI CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Sit the pork in a large roasting tin. If the skin isn't already scored for you, score it with a small, sharp knife. Mix together the thyme, fennel seeds, oil and 1 tsp salt with a good grinding of black pepper. Rub this over the top and ends of the pork. Roast for 30 mins, then cover the whole tin with a large sheet of foil, reduce the oven temperature to 140C/120C fan/gas 1 and return the pork to the oven for a further 5 hrs.
• While the pork is cooking, make the chutney. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Soften the onion and chilli together for 10-15 mins. Once soft, stir in the apple chunks, vinegar and sugar with 50ml water. Cover and cook over a low heat for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the apple is very soft. Blitz half the apple mixture with a hand blender, or scoop half into a food processor and whizz until smooth, before stirring back into the pan with the leaves from the thyme sprig.
• Take the pork from the oven - the meat should be very tender - and increase the temperature to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. When the oven has reached temperature, discard the foil and put the pork back in for 30 mins to crisp up the skin a little. For really crisp crackling, remove the skin from the meat, wrap the meat in foil to keep warm, and return only the skin to the oven for 30 mins. Use a couple of forks to shred the pork from the joint. Sandwich in soft buttered rolls with apple chilli chutney, warm or at room temperature. Serve with pieces of crisp crackling on the side.

CRISPY PORK & VEGETABLE ROLLS

Steps:

• Blend the cornflour with 3 tbsp cold water to make a paste to stick the rolls together. Put the noodles in a heatproof bowl, pour over boiling water to cover and leave for 3 minutes. Drain. Cool under running cold water, then drain well, tip into a large bowl and snip into small pieces with scissors.
• Add the pork, garlic, carrot, mushrooms, coriander, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Mix together well with your hands.
• Take one wrapper out of the pack and put it on a board (keep the rest covered or they will dry out). Cut the wrapper in four and put a heaped teaspoon of filling onto one side of each square, brushing the sides with paste as you go (1), fold over the end, then the two sides (2) and roll up (3). Make the rest in the same way. Cover and chill until needed.
• Heat about 3cm of oil in a wok or frying pan, add half the rolls and fry until crisp and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper and cook the rest. Serve on a platter with lettuce leaves, mint sprigs and a small bowl of dipping sauce. Get each guest to take a leaf of lettuce and a mint spring, then wrap it around a roll with a slick of sauce - a lovely combination.

BEST EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
• In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
• Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
• Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.
