Beautifully wrapped gifts are half the fun of the festive season. Mimi has created a little present of her own by cleverly wrapping pork and apple in bacon parcels. These tasty little presents are so delicious they are almost as exciting as gifts under the tree!
150 grams
Couscous
½ unit(s)
Leek
2 grams
Pork Medallion
4 grams
Sage
200 grams
Tenderstem® Broccoli
8 rasher(s)
British Streaky Bacon
1 sachet(s)
Wholegrain Mustard
½ sachet(s)
Chicken Stock Powder
1 unit(s)
Apple
1 tbsp
Olive Oil
300 milliliter(s)
Water
Cut the pork in half through the middle to make two medallions per person. Lay the bacon rashers on a board and place one pork medallion half on top of bacon rasher. Divide the wholegrain mustard between your medallions so you have a dollop on each, then lay an apple round on top of your mustard. Fold your bacon over your apple to form a parcel.
Put a frying pan on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add each pork parcel, apple side down. Cook for 2-3 mins until golden brown, then turn over and cook on the other side. Once golden brown, pop them on a baking tray on the top shelf of your oven for 7-9 mins. Tip: The pork is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
Pop your broccoli on the second shelf of your oven, at the same time as your pork parcel, for 7 mins. While your pork parcel and broccoli are cooking, remove the sage leaves from their stalks and roughly chop them. Once your couscous is ready, fluff it up with a fork and stir through your sage.
When everything is ready, serve your appley leek couscous on plates with your pork parcel on top and your broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
