WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Trim the fat and tendons off the pork. Slit the fillet down the middle, but not quite through. Open it out and bash it with a rolling pin to flatten it out as much as you can. Trim to a neat rectangle.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, suet and parsley with plenty of seasoning and bind the mixture with the egg.
- Put stuffing on the fillet, roll it up tightly and tie it with string at intervals along the length.
- Heat a fairly deep frying pan, add oil and brown pork all over for about 6 mins. Take meat out and put onion, carrot and bacon into the pan. Fry for 5 mins to brown the veg a little, then put the pork fillet on top, pour over the stock, cover and simmer for 45-50 mins until meat and veg are tender. Leave for 5 minutes before removing string, slice meat and serve.
