Normandy Pork
Next date with Avoca Cafe Cookbook was with Normandy pork.
This was a dish very much along the principles of the recent Lakeshore pork. A very suitable dish for the very cold and frosty morning outside as I was cooking it!
Horses (from a neighbour’s field), keeping me company when no one’s about.
Plenty of frost, but later the sun breaks through
A shining example of primula!
Anyway back to the Normandy Pork.
I diced fillet of pork, tossed it in seasoned flour, sautéed until golden brown, and then transferred it to a casserole dish. Diced onions and chopped cooking apples were then sautéed
and added to the meat. Apple juice and chicken stock were added,
covered, into the oven for an hour.
Cream was added before serving.
Verdict straight into the ‘Definitely repeat’ category. I made this early in the morning and it was perfect that night and next day.
I intend using this recipe (and/or maybe Lakeshore Pork) over Christmas as both very easy and great for preparing ahead.

I like the sound of this recipe. It makes such good sense to cook pork with apples/juice.
I stocked up on pork fillets this week (33% off in SQ) with the intention of making a large Lakeshore pork for over Christmas. I shall earmark one for this now!
I love you Lily! I was babysitting for my brother and his wife last night and flicking through their Avoca cafe cookbook, when my newphews were in bed. I came across this recipe and I thought to myself, delicious…I wonder will Lily do this one! Amazing to see the very recipe I wanted today! Will definitely be giving this one a go over christmas. Thanks for posting
Steph, better get myself to SQ. I intend cooking both these dishes again. Great to cook in the morning to have in evening. Hope tomorrow goes really well, thinking of you
Marie,
Telepathy or what! Yes both pork dishes were win. They’re also great to do for numbers and we both have big families, I’ll be using them for Christmas visitors.
Cheers! Lily – I’m just about to pack my bag for tomorrow.
We had Normandy pork this evening (prepared yesterday so only had to add the cream).
3/4 said “Yum!”
1/4 said “A bit strong”
I married a fussy eater!
Steph, Glad 3/4 gave the thumbs up to the Normandy pork.
I wouldn’t have liked to have tried it out on your husband with the original 300g of mustard
Went to SQ this pm and got the very last of the pork fillets they had (for today anyway) and still on special offer, which was great.
Hope by this time tomorrow pm, all over and successful.
