Cooking healthy yumminess

 Ians famous home made pork pies

 Delicious

 And sadly all gone

Yes, we bake the teeny tiny biscuits that sit on the coffee (or tea) spoon. Hundreds of them.

It is lovely that Mr Hojo spends so much time cooking.

It is not so lovely that I spend an almost equal amount of time cleaning up after him. Cleaning tomato based sauce off the tile, stove top and kitchen counter is not my idea of fun!

It had a little too much paprika in the recipe but fortunately we had a tub of greek yoghurt in the fridge which went with it beautifully. Tomorrow we add seafood and have it all over again :o)

Proof of the pudding, or pie in this case

The finished products. My favourite was the small pie with pickle in it. Reminds me of the mini pork pies from Tesco mmmmmmmm :o)

Homemade Pork Pies

It was quite hard to find a butcher to sell us some pig trotters, it would appear the piggies are footless and fancy free out here. This was yummy, a bit top heavy on the sage side of thigs but delicious and far superior to the shop sold pork pies in this hemisphere. Thanks to Hugh for the recipe.
