Hey lovelies,

Stuffed roast pork is one of the easiest, tastiest budget-friendly Sunday dinners you can make for your family.

The joint I use is a basic supermarket 1kg Irish pork loin joint and costs around €5, you will find it in the chill section.

When it’s taken out of the packaging most of these type of joints are already sliced down the middle ready to stuff.

I just remove the strings already on it , stuff it and put the strings back on, tieing tightly

After cooking is really important to let your pork rest.

I was doing this on Sunday and had a tea towel over the joint when lils asked “ mammy can I have some of the pork? I said no Hun it’s just resting at the min.

She’s says “ shhhhh whispering is that why it has his blanket around him 😂 ( the tea towel)

Enjoy Jolene X
