Spicy Pork Fillet
We can’t believe we haven’t added this to the website before now. This has been a staple summer eat for at least 20 years!! Spicy pork fillet is just what it says. We usually serve it with a salad because it doesn’t need anything to compete with the flavours. Basically the pork is a vehicle for flavour. Don’t misunderstand this, the pork is essential to the dish but the flavour all comes from the marinade. We do this for 2 people but just double the size for 4 people. Pork fillet usually comes in 200g pieces. We cut it in half and either use the other half for another dish or freeze it for later use. Enjoy!
