Thanks Charley I had to try and cover up the fact it was pork as OH doesn't like it - turns out he bought himself a pizza and didn't want it anyway - git!
I just used a defrosted pork chop but steak would be easier. So simple! Bash it out till thin and nearly doubled in size. Chop mushrooms up into smallish cubes, (you could also add garlic if you wanted? but I used smoked bacon to wrap and didn't know if too many flavours might spoil?) place a handful in the middle of the steak, pull in the sides and wrap securely with bacon. I didn't precook the mushrooms, no need to be honest.
That bakes in the oven for 20 mins? It's pretty quick and the mushrooms help to keep the moisture in the pork that you can sometimes lose.
Rest of dish easy - halve new pots, shake up in a bag with chilli flakes, paprika, sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 30-45 mins depending on oven, mines cr@p so everything goes in on 250c!
Ratatouille / sauce? Chop all veg into small chunks - onion, mushrooms, garlic, pepper (had I any courgette I would have added that too) and slowly fry so soften. When soft, add chillies, smoked paprika and can of chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, turn to a simmer and reduce to desired consistency.
Wasn't bad for a random throw together xxx

And assume you know how to cook green beans?

 

[dextersmum]

Minks am finally back in the land of the living - been sooo rough but hubby took me to Toby Carvery yesterday - just what I needed. Turkey and loads of veg with no roasties or Yorkshire pudding! And no pudding!!! Would love to try the graze box sweetie but let me know which options you choose to make sure I don't go mad xx

Food is looking fab with you as always - you are a great cook xx

The ratatouille I made is SW and delicious - freezes great too.......shall look up recipe and post it for you - can't remember as this was defrosted from a batch bake many moons ago xxxx

 

[dextersmum]

method
1. Prick the baking potatoes all over with a skewer, spray with Fry Light and sprinkle with sea salt. Place in a microwave at the highest power and cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender.

2. Meanwhile, make the pan-fried ratatouille. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan, spray with Fry Light and add the garlic, spring onions, courgette, red pepper and aubergine. Cook over a high heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables start to brown at the edges. Stir in the tomatoes and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flat-leaf parsley, remove from the heat and season well. (This can be made the night before and re-heated quickly on the day in a frying pan).

3. Serve the jacket potatoes, split in halves or quarters, with the ratatouille spooned over them
