12th March – Breaded pork steaks with a potato, bacon and leek bake

Ingredients (serves 2):

Pork Steaks

  • 2 large pork rib steaks
  • Some mozzarella
  • Some breadcrumbs
  • Dash of salt
  • Olive oil
  • 1 x garlic clove – finely sliced

Potato Bake

  • 400ml of vegetable stock
  • 1 large white potato – sliced
  • 1 medium leek – sliced
  • 4 rashers of bacon – diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Double cream

Heat the oven to 170 degrees C.  Start by bringing the vegetable stock to a boil and put the potatoes in and allow to simmer for ten minutes.  After five minutes add in the leek.  While the potatoes and leek are cooking you should heat some oil up over a low heat in a pan along with the finely sliced garlic clove.  Allow the garlic to infuse its flavour into the oil.  In a bowl mix together some bread crumbs and mozzarella along with a dash of salt.  Just before the garlic starts to brown remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.  Take the pork steaks one at a time and turn them in the oil and then in the bread crumb and cheese mix until well coated.  Place them onto a foil lined baking tray.

When the potatoes are just about cooking drain them off, keeping the stock, and layer them in an oven dish with the leeks.  Scatter the shredded bacon over the top of the dish and then pour some stock over so it reaches about 1/3rd to 1/2 up the dish.  Top up with cream and season well on top.

Put both the potato bake and the pork steaks into the oven until done to your liking.
