Dinner Tonight... What's Cooking Good Looking?

Well tonight friends, whilst I am nervously pacing around due to starting anew job tomorrow, I am soothing my soul with this recipe.. Goodness only knows what it will taste like! I am optimistic, pork, lentils and cider are always a bit of a winner so here is the recipe found from Ocado.com

So:

4 onions, peeled and cut into eighths

• 4 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
• 225g Puy lentils, rinsed and any stones removed
• 500ml dry cider
• 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 450g pork tenderloin
• 1 drizzle chilli oil
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Put the onions and garlic in a medium-sized roasting tin and add the lentils and half the cider. Stir in the parsley and season well with salt and black pepper.

Slash the pork four times diagonally, then sit it on top of the lentils. Drizzle over the chilli oil (if using), then put in the oven to cook. After an hour, top up with the remaining cider and cook for a further hour. If the meat is browning too much, cover with foil. If the lentils start to look dry, add a little hot water.

Remove the meat from the tin and keep warm while it rests for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the lentils.
