Chicken or pork recipes

nicegirl

Hi,

I'm wondering would anyone be able to tell me any nice recipes for chicken or pork, that would include pasta, mushrooms, onions, and peppers maybe? A recipe that would not involve any sauces!

or maybe reccommend a good website for recipes like this

Thanks in advance

When you say no sauce, do you mean you don't want anything from a packet, or you don't want a sauce full stop, even a home-made one?

/here, just in case, my mum has a lovely recipe (real comfort food) for a sweet and sour pork that isn't nuclear orange.

You need:

1 onion, finely diced
1 green pepper, finely diced
One heaped tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of flour

250mls chicken stock
1 tablespoon tomato puree
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
1 tablespoon mango chutney
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

Optional: small tin of pineapple pieces, drained, and/or a tin of bamboo shoots, drained.

Finely sliced pork from a pork fillet or a couple of pork chops with the fat trimmed.

Method

Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper, and soften. When soft, sprinkle the flour over and stir to coat and cook the flour.

In a jug, mix the ingredients for the sauce - that's the stock, tomato puree, vinegar, mango chutney, sugar and worcestershire sauce. When the flour is cooked out in the pan (don't let anything brown, this is all to be done under a gentle heat), add the sauce mix, stirring all the while. The sauce will thicken up as it hits the heat and flour.

When the sauce is bubbling gently, add the raw, unsealed, finely sliced pork - it will seal and cook in the heat of the sauce within minutes. After about five minutes, you can add the chopped pineapple pieces and the bamboo shoots if using, and cook for another three or four minutes.

Serve over buttered egg noodles - boil egg noodles as per instructions on the packet, drain well and add a knob of butter, toss until the butter melts and the noodles are coated, then serve in a shallow bowl with a serving of the sauce on top. You could also serve it over buttered pasta - it has a richness that lends itself to a starch.

You can do this with chicken as well, but it's really excellent with a finely sliced pork fillet!
