Bonesless leg of pork.

[ummmm]

I have a 6kg boneless leg of pork. I will cut it into portions but beside roasting what else is it suitable for?

Can I dice it myself and use it to make a stroganoff or something similar?

[mccfluff]

goulash?

[ummmm]

Will leg of pork be suitable for most things?

[mccfluff]

id guess spare ribs could be tricky...

[ummmm]

Lol...

I've been looking at recipes and some say pork steak or pork shoulder. I just wondered if they'd be much difference.

We only went out to buy a new light switch!!

You could make a pork and cider casserole, with onions and apples. Delia has quite good recipe.

Pulled pork, slow cooked and then shredded, there are loads of different recipes; spicy mexican Carnitas is great for enchilladas, or you can make a tamer version.

Madhur Jaffrey's vindaloo is amazing and really flavoursome, you can moderate the heat by adjusting how many chillies you add.

[ummmm]

So leg is just as good as any other cut to use in these recipes?

Possibly too good, if anything IMO.

somerset pork casserole is lovely, cook it in cider and add a glug of apple brandy

[ummmm]

I might try a casserole :-)

Thanks Lady.

Pulled pork is a slow cook recipe so perfectly suited to leg. Ditto casserole.

pork in a blanket was always one of my fav's.

Basically a pork casserole with cider and apples and red onions put in a deep dish and covered with mashed spuds - then baked till the spuds are crispy on top mmmmm

[ummmm]

We like pulled pork. I do the Jamie Oliver 6 hour version.

That sounds nice Helen.

Leg is one of the Prime cuts of Pork so suitable for most dishes -i would tend not to do pulled pork as it contains less fat than shoulder and could turn a little dry. Some ideas - kebabs - stir fry - goulash -escalopes -casserole with cider, onions and apples finished with some creme fraiche added at end with fresh chopped thyme

[ummmm]

Brilliant Mags.

Try a Chinese style marinade, it's lovely with pork or chicken. I can't give quantities because I'm a sort of "just-chuck-it-in-and-see-what-happens" type of cook, but my marinade usually contains a mix of crushed garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, lemon juice, five spice powder, honey, sunflower oil, and. bit of finely chopped chilli. Mix it all together and put in either a plastic bag or a plastic dish with a lid on. Add the sliced pork and mix thoroughly till everything's coated. Leave for as long as possible before cooking. Delicious.
