Simple pork supper

Tonight I wanted something quite plain for supper, after my polenta pizza feast last night! I'm not very good at cooking simply but I think I did ok here!

For this dish I had a pork shoulder steak to use and decided to do it in the oven to avoid using oil and frying it. So here is what I did...

First, I sprinkled both sides of the pork with salt, pepper, dried oregano and some crushed fennel seeds. I placed this into a oven proof dish (no oil needed) and put some blobs of soft cheese on the top, and then I lay circles of courgette on the top. I covered the dish with foil and popped it into the oven for about half an hour on 200 degrees.

When this came out the courgettes were lovely and soft, and the pork juices and cheese made a lovely sauce around the meat. The pork was tender and the fennel coming through was delicious.

Oh, and I had some nice new potatoes with it which were scrummy mashed into the sauce.

Mmmm mmmm
