Leeks add a silky texture to this meaty take on Welsh rarebit. Add cider, cheese and mustard for a savoury punch, then pile the lovely leeks on top of some perfectly cooked pork and serve.
Ingredients
Serves Four
2 tbsp olive oil
3 large leeks (about 550g), washed, trimmed and finely sliced
(If you don't have any leeks, try using spring or white onions/scallions instead)
1 tbsp plain flour
125ml dry cider
125g mature Cheddar, grated
1 tsp English mustard
4 pork loin steaks
To Serve - Optional
Mashed potato or swede (rutabaga) and Tenderstem broccoli,
1 tbsp plain flour
125ml dry cider
125g mature Cheddar, grated
1 tsp English mustard
4 pork loin steaks
To Serve - Optional
Mashed potato or swede (rutabaga) and Tenderstem broccoli,
Method
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a lidded pan and cook the leeks for 10 mins, covered, over a medium heat until soft. Add the flour to the leeks making sure you stir continuously to remove any lumps. Set aside half the leeks in a dish and the remaining leeks, cook for 2 mins, then slowly pour in the cider, stirring, until combined. Add the cheese and mustard and gently heat, stirring, until melted. The mixture can easily catch at this stage, so be careful.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a high heat and cook the pork steaks for 2-3 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Top with the leek rarebit, then grill for 2-3 mins until golden. Serve with the reserved leeks, and mashed potato or swede and Tenderstem broccoli, if you like.

I always thought rarebit was rabbit. Ha ha. It actually looks tasty, and I'm glad I have the name correct now. :)
ReplyDeleteThis does look delicious! The sauce sounds very good. Beautiful flowers, too. x K
ReplyDeleteGracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Welsh Rarebit but never had it. It sounds good!
ReplyDeleteDear Jan, I have heard of and tried Welsh rarebit.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this.
What a beautiful blue and yellow bunch of flowers!!!
ReplyDeletethis is a great recipe, it would also work well with chicken. again, love the flowers!!
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on the pork. It looks like it would make a great vegetarian dish.
ReplyDeleteThat looks quite appetizing!
ReplyDeleteThis leek preparation is truly exceptional, thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bouquet of flowers, I wish you a wonderful day, hugs Elke
I had one very bad (yet yummy) meet-up with leeks my flat-mate made. Ever since... I am afraid of that legume... But thank you for the memory, it was hilarious (I think he did not cook it through and all 4 of us... oh, it was true drama - in Winter).
ReplyDeleteLooks good, Jan and it's a nice recipe.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious!!
ReplyDeletehugs

...something new to try.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious Jan! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTake care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
I will have to forego the pork, but the leeks look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat looks quite nice. I don't make pork much, since I don't eat it, but Bill likes it, so I could make it for him. Or I could try with chicken pieces! Thanks for the idea, Jan!
ReplyDeleteI do like leeks a lot :-D
ReplyDeleteTasty looking recipe
