Day 311: a familiar favourite

There was a time this featured at our table regularly, but then I embarked on this cookalong and suddenly recurring favourites were bumped off by other deliciousnesses.

I’ve never actually been able to get a photo of it that I’m proud of - perhaps because it mainly features at our table during the cosy months of autumn and winter when our house is like a dark cave with no natural light after the hours of 2pm - but I can no longer contain my love for it and must give it it’s rightful and long overdue time in the limelight: Day 311 is Nigella’s Pork Steaks with Port and Figs. I love it so much.

Nigella’s Pork Steaks with Port and Figs

The recipe for this can be found in At My Table.

This recipe has also inspired the creation of what has become a favourite stew in our house - and one that I am very proud of - involving pork shoulder, allspice, dried figs, whole shallots caramelised in dripping, bay leaves and a low ‘n’ slow cook til tender bask in the oven for a few hours (see below for a pic I took last year).
