Roast Pork in a Bath of Beer and a Bed of Mixed Onions
"So the next day lunch time meal was made of those wraps. I spread some sweet chilli ? sauce for me and hubby and horse radish sauce for kidos on those wraps, sprinkled some shredded romaine lettuce and some broccoli cabbage salad also left over and a tiny little drizzle of salad cream and last but not least some of that tasty roast pork which I have shredded finely. It was ?? yummy indeed. If you are a vegetarian, replace meat with eggs, fish or even beans or tofu if you want it vegan."
NotesWe have had this with small chopped vegetables sprinkled with some olive oil and dry Italian herbs. Use whatever veg you like and have but mainly root ones as those bake amazingly.
