I attended a function yesterday and had hot roast pork sandwiches. Very nice too.
Before the chap with the spit roast left he stripped the pig of all meat. I have about 5lb of it. Had a lovely sunday dinner, but still have lots left. Any idears or recipes as to what to do with the rest?
-
freeze it in meal sized portions :)

Chinese shredded pork? Seems an ideal use for it to me. :)

I get left over pork from carving at hog roasts.
As mum says freeze in meal size portions and you can make
pork and mushroom pie with with half fat creme fraiche and pastry
Similar with mashed spud topping.
Chop it small and make a pasta bake.
I simmer the pig's carcass for stock and make a gravy with it, add pork and make something similar to a moussaka and lasagne.
Also wrap it in filo pastry with vegetables to make parcels
Sometimes put some piccalilli or chutney with it in the parcels.
Pig and veg soup is also good.
Add to rissotto
Or a paella with veg and pork stock.

Don't know why I was focused on making meals then freezing them. Thanks mum, this takes the pressure off to use it now, especially with mrs bell's ideas. Regret not seeing him packing up to go esp. with carcase.
Grandkids think grandads gravy is always better than their mothers. Still working on my daughters to use "skin, bones and gunjy bits"to make stocks as a base for gravy.
They might learn one day.

You cannot beat homemade stock! Makes a Sunday luches gravy :D
I save all my bones and carcasses until I have enough for a stock pot and then let it go cold peel off the fat and reduce the liquid and freeze.
Have just done a lamb carcass. :D
