ROAST PORK WITH BLUEBERRY PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season roast generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook roast in hot oil until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add shallot, cut-side down, to skillet and place rosemary sprigs on top of roast.
• Roast pork in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Flip pork, place rosemary sprigs back on top of roast, and break up shallots with a spoon. Continue roasting until slightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Transfer roast to a platter to rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle any excess fat in the skillet over the top of roast.
• Place the same skillet over medium heat. Stir blueberries into skillet and cook and stir until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour port wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Stir chicken broth into blueberry mixture, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir cold butter into sauce and whisk until completely incorporated. Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.

• In a cup or small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Gently stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries so as not to mash the berries. Simmer gently until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the almond extract and cinnamon. Thin sauce with water if it is too thick for your liking.

PORK WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

• For the pork: Place the pork chops on the work surface. Season them both sides with salt, pepper, and dried coriander.
• Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the steaks and fry them for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the seared steaks on it. Distribute the 2 ounces of butter on each of them. Also, top the steaks with rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C.
• For the sauce: Heat a cooking pot over low heat, then add the butter and melt it.
• Add the blueberries and rosemary. Simmer for 10 minutes. Crush the blueberries in the process.
• Strain the cooked blueberries into another cooking pot using a strainer and a rubber spatula.
• Place the cooking pot over low heat. Add the wine and heavy cream. Cook and stir until it starts bubbling.

BLUEBERRY ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the the first six ingredients, through vanilla, and whisk to combine.
• Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined; don't overmix.
• Add the zucchini and stir to combine; set aside.
• To a medium bowl, add the blueberries, 1/4 cup flour (helps prevent them from sinking while baking), and toss to coat.
• Add the blueberries and all flour bits to the large bowl with the batter and stir until just combined; don't overmix.
• Turn batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Tip - Evenly sprinkle the surface with 1 to 2 tablespoons blueberries for a visual pop of color.
• Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes (I baked 57 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Baking times will vary based on the moisture content of zucchini, blueberries, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don't worry if it takes more or less time to bake than the baking time estimates provided.*
• Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

DUCK MAGRET WITH A BLUEBERRY PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Duck Breast.
• Place the duck breast in a container with the garlic, orange zest and thyme. Cover the container and place it in a refrigerator, leave it to infuse for a few hours.
• Cook duck breast skin side down over medium/high heat to render fat and crisp skin. This will take 8-10 minutes, you will have to drain fat periodically as a lot of fat will fill the pan, just be careful. as it is very hot.
• Transfer duck to an oven proof dish, place on a wire rack and cook in 180c oven for 20-25 minutes, this will leave it nice and pink in the middle. I turn the oven, to grill, for the last few minutes to really crisp up the skin, but take your pick I like it this way.
• Blueberry Sauce.
• Heat port, half the berries and redcurrant jelly in a pan. Heat to a medium/high heat and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until it reduces to a thin sauce consistency.
• Add a little water to cornflour and add to sauce to thicken slightly, add Dijon mustard and whisk to dissolve.
• Remove from heat and stir in remaining berries and serve immediately.
• Spinach.
• Heat oil in a large pan add onion and garlic, cook until onion softens.
• Melt butter in same pan, add spinach and cook until spinach is soft.
• Rosti Style Potatoes.
• Heat butter in a pan, add onion and garlic and cook until soft, using an absorbent cloth squeeze any excess liquid from potatoes and add to pan, cook until potato is sticky. Remove mixture from pan.
• Using egg rings place mixture inside and cook until browned and crisp on both sides.
• Alternatively I did this last night as I was in a hurry, but it does not make for the best presentation. Just leave potato in pan and stir cooking until crisp, it is a little quicker but potato is in bits rather than a nice shaped ring.
• To Serve: Pour a little sauce on plate, place sliced duck breast on top of sauce, serve spinach and rosti on the side.
