NOTES -

This recipe is the result of last nights taste test of Apple and Mustard Pork from the November 2001 issue of the BBC Good Food magazine. They suggested we brown the pork, remove it, make the sauce and finish cooking the pork in the sauce as it simmers and reduces. The result was boiled pork.

Here are our changes for next time. TECHNIQUE: Since the Foreman grill produces tender fried pork without a steamed or boiled taste, we think it or a broiler produces better tasting pork. Make the sauce separately and serve on top. Add MUSTARD to taste.

We agreed with Louise, who said in her Taste Team Comment in the magazine: "The mustard flavor wasnt as strong as expected - next time I might double the quantity." We made it with 1 tsp per side of pork; tasted the sauce, and ended up doubling the mustard.

FINISHING: It also needed color and a taste contrast, so we garnished with green onion.

SALT FREE SEASONINGS: Lawrys Salt-Free 17; Tones Perc; Beau Monde, etc.

Description: "George Foreman Grilling machine or broiler"

Serving Ideas : Colcannon (potatoes and cabbage); or fried baby eggplant and broccoli

NOTES :
This recipe, reflects our changes in seasonings and technique. Grill the pork quickly. The sauce is simple and scrumptious; a green onion adds kick. Serve with a Colcannon of potatoes and Brussels sprouts for a very happy meal.
