Am having a DP. Need suggestions for a main meal. Preferably meat based, following a starter of prawns and salmon.
Suggestions anyone??

my favourite is belly pork with baked beans. score the skin of the pork and salt it to get great crackling. Then slap it straight onto the shelf of a low oven - no baking tray, nothing. underneath on the shelf below you put your homemade baked beans to catch all the juice from the posrk.
to make the beans get a couple of tins of haricots beans (unless you can be bothered to soak dried ones overnight) put them in a casserole with some fried-off onion and bacon (or pancetta) a tin of tomatoes, and herbs including bay elaf and a splash of wine. leave to roast underneath the pork for a few hours until the porks done. about 10 mins from the end you may wan to take the pork out cut off the skin and put it in under a hot grill to make the crackling.
cut the pork into big thick individual slices and serve on top of the beans.
spot on
