Munchy Monday #47: Individual pork roasts

Well, we call them this way, anyway! They are really roasted pork cheeks, but we have found over the years that if we said what they really were our visitors were less eager to eat them! It's a good meal to prepare if there are many mouths to feed. Small children can share one because there is a lot of meat on these things.

You will need:
One pork cheek per adult, one between two for those with a smaller appetite.
Small roasting onions
Frozen garlic
Bay leaves
Salt and pepper
Oil to coat each cheek

Method:
Coat each cheek with oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the cheeks out on a roasting tray and shake frozen garlic chips over them. Place the bay leaves and onions between the cheeks and place tray in a slightly pre - heated oven on high to roast the usual way. (These cheeks took about 1 hour 20 minutes to cook till tender, in a hot fan oven, top and bottom oven on)




We had a light soup as a starter and I served the roasts with green beans and a few oven chips each (plus the onions for those who wanted them). Yum!
