Pork Loin Steak with Roast Veg & fresh tomato sauce - Saturday June 30th 2012

Saturday was a busy day, but I found time to try out a simple quick brining tip I picked up from Francis at The FaB Food Blog - simple and nice and quick. The pork was still not as tender as my beloved slow cooked pork belly, but less like the sole of a boot than has been known in the past.

With it, some simple roasted vegetables, aubergine, peppers, courgettes, onions and garlic, tossed in a lovely Carib spice mix kindly sent from @Toezapper The Spice Dog  ( he makes amazing spice blends, not yet available commercially, so I am very happy to have got my little hands on some) with salt and olive oil. And a light tomato sauce, just onions, canned plum tomatoes and a little salt and Toezapper 5P pepper mix, simmered until thick..  Yummy.
