2 ‘Must-Try’ Meat Recipes to Surprise everyone At Home

Although having a meat meal in combination with fruits might not be that common, today’s culinary art starts getting a whole new perspective! Famous chefs now serve surreal dishes that no one could ever think of. So, why don’t we also go for something different? Meat & fruit meals are definitely not to be underestimated! The natural sugars in fruits tend to get deep into the meat’s flesh and thus make it taste fantastic. On the other hand, the fruit flavors are not that intense, which lets the meat dominate in the plate. Here are 2 ‘must-try’ recipes that are so extravagant that will make everyone from your family speechless:

1. Roast pork with grapes

Products: 1 ½ kg pork 150ml water 150ml white wine 30g butter 150ml grape juice 2tbsp flour 3tbsp gin Salt, black pepper 450g grapes, for garnish For the marinade: 2x garlic cloves, smashed 3tbsp EVOO 6tbsp white whine Mix all the ingredients for the marinade. Place the meat in a deep pot and pour the marinade mixture all over the pork. Leave in the fridge for 24 hours making sure you turn the meat a couple of times. On the next day take the meat out of the marinade, but do not throw the mixture – you will need it later! Preheat the oven at 190C°. Place the meat in a stew pan and season it with salt and black pepper. Pour 150ml water on top and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 1,5-2 hours. In the meantime, melt the butter over the hob, add the grapes and fry for 4-5 minutes. (this will be the garnish!) Leave aside. Take the meat out of the oven and transfer it to another pot. Heat the alcohol and pour on top of the pork. Then strain and add the sauce in which the meat was baked as well. Add the grape juice, the white wine and the marinade that you saved. An explosion of tastes! Let it all boil for another 10 minutes or so. Serve with some fried grapes on top.
