Stuffed peppers with pork
Pigs of all our heavy duty farm animals produce the smallest carbon footprint, it is a meat I am very fond of. The tenderloin is excellent value with very little fat and marinating it in the other ingredients enhances its flavour even more. It’s good to have a kick of chilli so I’ve used a pepper sauce I picked up in Mexico, but any version will more or less do. This is quick to make and makes a very tasty meal.

This sounds delicious.
A couple of questions, though:
– How small do you cut the pork? Mince, fine dice, large dice?
– Do you cut the pork before you put it in the marinade or after browning?
– When do you add the pepper sauce? When serving or do you put it in the marinade?
Hi Isabel, I normally dice it fine and always marinade before browning. Pepper sauce goes in the marinade. Hope this helps. Send me your comments when you knock it up.
