Last night we celebrated Holly's birthday. Mum made an amazing, and I mean AMAZING roast pork. It was a 2kg slab of pork loin that was rolled with a stuffing of chopped prunes, apples, coriander and spinach leaves. After rolled the pork was tied and roasted fat side up at about 180 degrees for about 2hours. With the fat crackling, the only word to describe it was exquisite!
There was a red cabbage side as well. Initially I thought that it would go and hey, how tasty could cabbage be? But the cabbage was an explosion of flavour. Baked in a dish with apples and onions, it was the perfect complimentary dish for the pork. Also it didn't hurt that it looked so bloody good with the purple cabbage.
Dessert did not disappoint either - a Chocolate Amer - a flourless chocolate sponge layered with bitter chocolate mousse from Bakerzin. Thankfully didn't get the bigger cake - this was was a size 5 and just nice for the 6 of us.
Well, dinner time!
