Pork Casserole with Apples, Ginger and Coriander
This is a lighter summer casserole – fruity with the apples and light golden Simmer Dim. A touch of warmth from the ginger and fragrance from plenty of freshly chopped green coriander leaves. Even better as there is plenty of delicious Shetland reared pork available at the moment. (More about that next month.)
