what's in the pot

This one's for Mica, who wanted to know what's in the pot.

Friday night, it was pork loin (lonza). It was a smallish piece, because I had expected to cook it Thursday night for just me and Ross, but after making chutney all day, I was tired of being in the kitchen, so we went out for pizza instead. So I had the lonza to cook on Friday when Enrico came home.

Procedure:

- In a casserole, sear on all sides in a bit of olive oil

- add chopped carrots, a couple of small onions, sear them as well

- add white wine (some ex-sparkling white that had been forgotten in the fridge, now flat but not yet vinegar) and a tsp or so of broth granules, pepper, and a couple of teaspoons of sweet chutney.

- cover and cook about 40 minutes, til a meat thermometer shows nearly done, dollop with sweet tomato chutney (that's when I took the picture) and cook a little longer.

Serve with mashed potatoes and its own gravy.
