Glazed Pork Fillet …

… Cajun Style Pepper Rice & BBQ Sauce

So I did this one for my friends Alex and Lisa from work and Gavin. 

This meal requires a 600g pork fillet, which is quite a big piece of meat to cook in a short space of time.  This meal also requires you to put your grill oven on a medium – high heat.  I do not have a grill oven.  I only have an oven and a separate grill.  This will become important later.  Instead I put my oven on a high heat. 

This was an easy meal to cook.  The prep for the meat was done in a minute.  Less maybe.  The veg for the rice were chopped up quickly and in the pan.  There was no stress or hassle at all.  I think Alex and Lisa were a bit disappointed that it all went so smoothly.  I think they were looking forward to seeing me panic and cook in utter chaos. 

This meal requires that the pork loin is cut length ways half way through, opened up like a book and squashed down a bit.  It is fried for a bit (about 4 minutes on each side) and then put in your grill oven with most of the BBQ sauce you have made (yes made) until it is cooked. 

Everything was on the table, the rice/veg dish, the remaining BBQ sauce and the pickles, before the fourteen minute mark.  But the pork is not fully cooked.  If only I had a grill oven! In the end it was done after sixteen minutes and thirty eight seconds. 

This was another great meal, and one I would like to cook again.  The rice/veg dish was lovely.  It’s been a little while since I have eaten okra and I really do like it.  It’s quite a popular ingredient in southern America cooking (as in the southern sates in the US) and I had a bit of it while I was on my three-week tour of the southern sates earlier this year. 

Music tonight was from Feeder.
