Chicken and lamb are probably the two kinds of meat that hubby and I eat the most simply because they are easy to cook, and there is almost a guarantee that the meat is going to be soft and tender! But I guess sometimes we do want a change in life, just to mix it up a bit!
The other day I saw the pork cutlets in Woolies had some fat marbling through it, so I guess they should be alright! Can’t be that tough! I dropped it in my trolley along with some pear and broccolini!!! Why pear instead of apple?? Pear is probably in season right now, they’re less than $2 a kilo as opposed to the apples that are more than $4 a kilo! So there was no doubt that pear was the winner!!!
So I gave the pork cutlets a good wash, then bashed them with the back of a knife to loosen the meat up. Then I marinated it with some worchestershire sauce, soy sauce and sugar, then left it in the fridge over night!
The next day after a long tiring day of work, I took the pork out and dropped a couple of spoonful of corn flour, then pan fried it on a grill pan, 2 minutes on each side. Then chuck it in the oven at 180C for 15 minutes along with the peeled, cored and diced pear with a squeeze of lemon juice and brown sugar sprinkled on top. While the meat is in the oven I can boiled up the broccolini.
Gosh... I couldn’t believe how little effort was this dinner. And the main point is... it was ABSOLUTELY DECLICIOUS!!! The meat was soft, tender and juicy, the pear probably needed a bit more time in the oven, but I didn’t really mind the crunchiness in them, which created a contrasting texture with the pork and broccolini!!!! Even hubby gave a big thumbs up!!!!!!
