Many people say they have saved a lot of money due to the Corona crisis. They don’t go where they used to go, they don’t travel, they don’t shop as much. However, for me it is perhaps, even the opposite! I am not a big spender, but I give my all for a good and healthy nutritious food. Secondly, I can also see positives in these times, most of the people are spending much more time in their homes. Therefore, I get to escape from my random routine into many places of the world. Social media is created for that, and I love this about it. One of my weekly livestreams is the cooking with celebrities, world Chefs, etc. This week I got inspired by an amazing and easy recipe – luxurious happy pork dinner.
Just a few ingredients can result in a master chef dinner or lunch, and trust me, it doesn’t even take that much time! I choose pork loin, but you can also do chicken, rabbit or turkey. Bon appetit!
You can also add anything you have cravings for, for instance, I upgraded the leftovers with some zucchini and Slovak sheep cheese: bryndza as per following below.
Luxurious and happy pork dinner is suitable for kids from 3+, and this is an ideal meal fast romantic dinner in 2, just as for festive Christmas family meal.

The creamy potatoes

Afterwards, heat up a tablespoon of lard in a large frying pan or wok on high heat.
Potatoes and carrots in, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until golden.

Then, pour in the double cream, flavour up with the Vegeta spice (or black pepper and sea salt), lower the heat to a medium and continue cooking until the veggies absorb the cream. In the finale, it gets nice and creamy, not too liquid.
The meat
Just before the potatoes are done, heat up 1 tablespoon of lard in a large frying pan and bake the steaks from both sides to perfection. It depends on its thickness, 2-3 minutes from each side. Set aside and season with black pepper and sea salt. Enjoy with a glass of dry white wine.
Makes 5 serves.
