Roast Loin of Sussex Pork










 

Rather than expose yourselves to the risk of COVID19 in an overcrowded supermarket, buy produce from your local shops which are plentifully stocked and are not crowded with people standing cheek by jowl.

Here is a fantastic boned, rolled loin of Sussex pork that I bought from my good friend Derek Stott of D and D Family Butchers, his shop operates a strict policy of no more than one person in at any one time.

I cooked it with herb and onion stuffing, and some prunes and apple.

It was excellent, very tender, moist and full of flavour!

Roast Sirloin of Beef










 

Rather than expose yourselves to the risk of COVID19 in an overcrowded supermarket, buy produce from your local shops which are plentifully stocked and are not crowded with people standing cheek by jowl.

Here is a fantastic rolled sirloin of beef that I bought from my good friend Derek Stott of D and D Family Butchers, his shop operates a strict policy of no more than one person in at any one time.

The beef was exceptionally tender and mouthwateringly flavoursome, I served it with my special Yorkshire Pudding (cooked under the meat for extra flavour - which also means it doesn't rise).

Scallops and Bacon

 

Two of my favourite local suppliers provided me with the the ingredients for this simple starter.

The smoked back bacon came from my good chum Derek Stott of D and D Family Butchers, and the scallops (note the roe must always be attached for the best flavour) came from the good people of Sea Haze on Brighton Beach.

The bacon and scallops were fried in butter with black and white pepper, note scallops need no more than 60 seconds each side (any more than that and they will be like rubber!).

Absolutely delicious!
