I like to think I have an eclectic taste in music, however some of the bands are utter bunk, so I am going to amuse myself in the kitchen just to ring the changes! (Georgie didn't spot that little ounce of sarcasm!)

| Slight exaggeration on the 1473 |
I have a pork tenderloin that I need to do something with. I had already planned to stuff it with some sort of mushroomy concoction and serve it with some braised lettuce and new pots. Yes, I still have about 1473 lettuces left to eat, and am trying new things, but there is only so much little gem one can stuff inside them.
Hence the fact I really didn't fancy that for supper.
After speaking to Lauren (and if you haven't guessed by now she is my sister) she said why didn't I do schnitzels? Ahhh, I thought, maybe not schnitzels, maybe I'll go one better, an idea was brewing!
I decided to tempura batter the pork. That way I wouldn't end up with egg, flour and breadcrumbs up the walls of my kitchen and fingers I could actually deep fry. So I mixed some cornflour and water, and thought damn... I am sure tempura is egg white and flour not water and flour... so I added the egg white to the flour and water I mean what's the worst that could happen - "OK love supper is schtupped, fish n chips it is"
I mixed in some smashed garlic to the tempura just for good measure. (I used my new "garlic press" - pretty good too). Then added the tenderloin, which I cut into rounds...
What to do with a Pressure Cooker you don't know how to use.
No 2 - Meat flattener - Smash meat with cooker
This book is going to be freaking awesome!
I added the rounds to the white gloopy mixture, coated well and deep-fried until crispy, served with a spicy tomato sauce and roasted new potatoes
What a triumph!!! Believe it or not they were really, really good! Obviously I made this up, using quantities unknown, but have a go you may even surprise your self - I shocked the hell out of me!!!
