This week I wrote a feature to go with a recipe for vegetable gratin which I also adapted.

The gratin is easy, chop up some cauliflower and broccoli, give it a little boil until tender, bung it in a dish with some quartered tomatoes, top with some white sauce (I made my own), sprinkle with walnuts and bake.

I created this dish this evening, but wanted to create something for Paul.

I bought a pork chop from Budgens, and a bottle of cider (clear glass, was about £1.65).

I washed the chop, and put it in a metal lidded dish with some onion, chopped into crescents, a sprinkle of dried sage, two crushed cloves of garlic and about a quarter of the bottle of cider.

I then baked it in the oven until it was cooked (Paul verified this), added a little cornflour to the cider mix to make a gravy and voila!

Apparently it was very nice.

Why did you wash the chop, Sarah?
Still don't know what I want to do when I grow up...

Isn't that what you do with meat?

Of course you do.

It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion.

You don't have to wash meat!!!!

If it looks mucky, I really wouldn't eat it!

I would always recommend rinsing most meats under running water.

I'm a vegetarian of some 18 years standing now and have no clue of how to cook meat or what it should look like.. so washing it came naturally to me.

Of course I was wearing latex gloves at the time, because I don't like touching it. Don't like the smell of it either.

I thought you had to rinse chicken before you cooked it but other than that.... Catering is not my best quality anyway!
