One of my dearest friends has asked me to host his wife's birthday dinner in a couple of weeks (mainly cos he knows that if all the kids are here we don't have to be TOO worried about bedtimes/right menus/too much noise). Starter and dessert are sorted (her favs, mushroom risotto and then my special white chocolate ice). Her favourite dish is a pork cheek thing and that's about as much as I can fathom. She likes the meat very tender and in sauce.
I've come up with twice cooked pork belly, which might just do the trick, but that's not in a sauce (unless I knock up a marsala type jus).
Can anyone recommend a really succulent and tender but "haute cuisine" type pork dish that I can do. I'd like it to be really special.
