Pork with Apples

Another recipe using up some of the leftover meat from the festivities. On Christmas Eve we had some friends over for a stock fondue and one of the items that could be cooked in the fondue was pork. I had about 10 pieces left so it really needed some sprucing up.

It only took a few minutes to get the dish done so I started boiling the water for the Rice so that everything is done at the same time.

Ingredients:

• 1 Strip of smoked Bacon - the leaner the better, cut into small pieces
• 1 Shallot, finely diced
• Pork strips (it was about 100g)
• 1 Apple, cut into slices
• 1/2 cup White Wine/Apple Juice
• 1/4 cup Cream

Method:

• In a small frying pan fry the bacon in its own fat
• Add the Shallot and keep it on the heat until the Shallot has softened
• Add the pork strips and brown them from all sides until they are fully cooked
• Use the White Wine/Apple Juice to deglaze the pan
• Add the Cream and let it come to a boil
• Add the Apples slices on top and let them soften slightly

I served this with some Rice and Green Beans.
