Pork Wellies in Drag roasted with Potatoes, Batatas und other veggies. Posted on above link originally...

Ingredients
8 Pork wellingtons aka Pork bangers done up with a rasher of bacon, a dried prune stuck in the centre and garnished with 1/2 glazed cherries on the ends. These can be made up from ordinary Porkies.
1 to 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into chunks
1 med to large onion, coarsly sliced
1 large green pepper, diced roughly
1 to 3 tomatoes, diced roughly
1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped reasonably fine
olive oil for baking dish and to drizzle over veggies
veggie seasoning
paprika powder
Procedure
Preheat oven
Precook spuds
Grease baking dish with olive oil and arrange wellies in dish, pop into oven while spuds are being pre cooked in water or being nuked in the Microwave. If using the latter let the wellies kook for around 20 min. before adding the rest of the goodies.
When spuds are ready arrange around semi cooked wellies in baking dish together with other veggies, sprinkle seasoning and coriander in between to sprad the flavour, drizzle with olive oil and return back to hades set on grill, observe and do not incinerate! This should take about 10 to 15 minutes or until veggies get a browned look.
Serve with a salad of your choice, this is enough for 4 or 3 days worth of leftovers.

La raison de cette folie - Soft Shin and Sweet Potato

This serves as a repository and link to some of the best food I have made from the net as well as recipes I have concocted... The best will be mirrored on my recipe website as well.

Here was the last of my own recipes from my blog Ramblings from a Blue Dot, a delicious casserole/one pot dish using an unsung cut of meat...
Soft Shin with Sweet Potato

Soft Shin with Sweet Potato:
750g soft shin
750g sweet potato
500g carrots
Large onion
Packet of oxtail soup
Dried fruit 250g (optional)

Marinade:
A pinch of dried garlic, pinch of aniseed (this can be pungent so rather use very little), 2 tablespoons of whole coriander, some cooking oil or olive oil (about 3 tablespoons) and a tablespoon of vinegar. Grind the spices and garlic in a mortar and pestle... sprinkle over meat on both sides after placing in a dish, sprinkle oil and vinegar over meat... let it all rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour, turning from time to time.

Preperation:
Dice the marinated soft shin and prepare the vegetables also (unless you bought ready prepared like I did). Nuke the veggies in the microwave for around 6 minutes to par cook.
Heat a pan or saucepan with some olive oil and proceed to brown the meat, add the onion to glazed state before adding 2 cups of water (cover the meat) and simmmer while preparing the soup.
Add 250ml of water to a bowl and add the soup powder... stir and let it stand for a few minutes while you add the carrots and sweet potatoes on top of the meat, adding some veggie sprinkle at the same time. One can also add some dried fruit at the same time, I used some apricots. Stir the soup one last time and pour over the veggies and replace the lid... let it all simmer on very low heat for at least one hour... this gives you time to make some rice to go with the dish and knock together a salad. One can also do this dish in a casserole in the oven, 45 minutes should do the trick at a med. temp (150 odd).

Enjoy!
