enough new products, lets share a recipe: Mediteranean Pork

I know you're all fascinated by the new products we keep adding here at Kiddies Kitchen, but its been a while since I added or reviewed a recipe on the blog, so here goes:

This one has been a firm family favourite since way before Luke arrived and now that he's nearly 2 we have been enjoying it as a family meal on a regular basis.

We usually use a couple of big thick pork chops from the butcher which I bone and cut into strips before frying them briefly in some oil.

When browned I added a deseeded and sliced red pepper and cook for a couple more minutes when I add a tin of our Essential Organic chopped tomatoes (59p from Kiddies Kitchen - bargain!).

Once this is bubbling I add a couple of teaspoons of rinsed capers, some chopped parlsey, and some salami sliced into strips. the whole thing bubbles away for about twenty minutes with extra water if too thick or a little cornflour if too runny, or until the pork is cooked through and tender. We add a scant pinch of chilli flakes which adds some depth to the flavour, or you could use smoked paprika, just don't make it too hot if you're going to share with a toddler!

We usually shred up some of the pork for Luke but otherwise he eats it as it comes ("Daddy pork, Mummy pork, Luke pork!") either with rice, baked potato even organic oven chips (available in our frozen food section).

I can't remember where the genesis of this recipe as we've adapted and made it our oown over the years - but well done whoever came up with it - we love it and so does Luke.
