Roast Easter Lamb with White Wine

I made this little beauty with a hunk of lamb shoulder. 

It was delicious - tender lamb with a classic, effortless delicious sauce. 

I would warm the serving bowl next time, as instructed. 

Pork chops with sage and tomatoes

 

I can't believe I've not posted about this dish before. 

Pork, sage, tomatoes - that's pretty well it. 

It's so delicious. We skip the flour, but it browns nicely without. The trick, as is usually the case, is the get the best of everything: free range pork, best tomatoes, sage from your garden, the best salt and fats. If you use a crappy bit of pork it will be like an old boot. 

Cook until it's done. This doesn't mean stopping after the suggested hour, or god help us, 20 minutes as I read in someone's blog post. You cook the pork till it's tender when prodded with a fork. That might take 40 minutes. Or it might take 2 hours. 

Fried Calamari

 

We used almond flour and olive oil, and it worked a treat. I fried for longer than you might think - minutes, till it really went golden. We bought the preprepared squid tubes and it was much easier.
