Not everything can be cooked from scratch so quality frozen food provides cold comfort

Friday 25 July 2003 14:21

Pork a pastry
Micro Roast Pork Loin is a whole loin of de-boned, slow roasted frozen pork. It is supplied individually shrink-wrapped in 1.2kg portions.

To cook, simply defrost, slice and microwave as required, with no wastage.

The pork is very versatile and can be served in a variety of ways - as a traditional roast loin of pork, cut into chunks and stir fried, sliced and served in wraps or rolls and cut into pork steaks. Or create Pork Wellington by combining with mushrooms and pate and wrap in a puff pastry and serve with Madeira sauce.

Also from Artland are frozen pork steaks with coatings in breadcrumb or batter, with fillings such as creamy onion or creamy broccoli.

The steaks are in sizes ranging from 80g for children to a generous 250g size.

They can be cooked by convection oven, microwave or deep shallow fried. Prices range from 65p for 80g, 67p for 140g and £1.40 for 200g.
