Pete’s Diet Coke Pork

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 tbsp. Worcester sauce
1x 330g can of Diet Coke
1 tbsp. sweetener
1 Cup of frozen peas (ff)
2 Pork Lions (ff)
4 Medium potatoes cut into wedges (ff)

Method

Put all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, reduce to a high simmer, stir from time to time until the sauce starts to thicken (can take up to 25-30 mins). In the meantime cook the pork lions in a griddle pan turning over from time to time until cooked, remove & place in an oven-proof dish with a wire rack inside. Pour the sauce on one side & place in a hot oven (180c) until the sauce is bubbling, remove from the oven, turn over and using the remaining sauce, coat the other side & return to the oven until done.
In the meantime cut the potatoes into wedges, par-boil for 5 mins, remove, dry, spray with Fry Light & add your favourite seasoning and place in the hot oven for 25-30 mins.
Place the peas in a small pan, pour boiling water over and cook for 5 mins only.
When every item is cooked, plate up.

God that looks good ... I'm sure I can actually smell it as well

Pete I sometimes think recipes will never be as tasty as the OP says....but your peanut curry.....WOW - I adapted as I'm not a fan of sweetener so omitted that and I used a chicken stock cube instead....was simply wonderful! Thank you! xx

Hiya Pete. I'm going to make your famous peanut curry tomorrow but I was wondering - I've bought the small frozen cubes of ginger from sainsburys and one cube is one tablespoon so how much shall I use for a 2 cm piece. Im really sorry if it's a daft question x

I tend to use 1

That's brill ta. Forgot to ask about the chilli - can I use lazy chilli instead if so - how much should I use ? Ta x

 

[bilsat]

Hi All.
I have used "easy lazy" garlic, chilli or ginger instead of the original, I use 1tbsp as a normal amount, the cube of ginger is about the same amount, it's not super critical, it's your own preference! Use whatever suits you best, all my recipes are my amounts that I like, adjust them to your own taste.........

 

[bilsat]

Hi Yummymummie83.
I have never done the diet coke chicken as such but I can't see what difference just changing the pork for chicken would make as the "sauce" is made the same! Enjoy.........
Pete

Hi pete - I made your macaroni cheese last night and loved it! I used the so-op cheese sauce mix though as it's all I could find and is 7 syns. Really delicious thanks xxxx

Remember that if 2 people ate the meal the 7 syns are 7/2=3.5 syn per person!
