Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage – Paleo, AIP, Whole 30

January 30, 2016 By Angie 13 Comments

Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage gives you two dishes for the effort of one - a wonderful, aromatic broth, followed by fall-apart pork pieces. The lemon is zesty and fresh, and the sage is cleansing. It's a beautiful stew for mid-winter days.

If you love lemon, you’ll love this. Boneless pork pieces stewed in broth which is impregnated with the tang of lemon flesh, the freshness of its zest, and the cleansing fragrance of  just-picked sage.

Pork is delightful in winter. When I was edging away from vegetarianism, pork in winter was one of the foods which would entice me. Maybe it’s in my genes. The fattened pig would be slaughtered at end of autumn, and the fatty sopressa, the slabs of prosciutto and the lard would see the ancestors through the hard winters.

Winter River Walk

These last days of January and the first of February are traditionally known as I Giorni Della Merla, The Days of the Blackbird, and they are reknowned for being the coldest. The General heads out to work dressed like an onion, in layer upon layer, but still comes home with his feet and fingertips chilled. On Saturday – today – he spends an hour bringing up the wood so that we’re right for the full week ahead. Other than misty walks down by the Astico so that Roxy can run wild, these are days for staying inside with the fire burning, and with a pot simmering away on the stove.

Pork Broth with Lemon and Sage

This is a gorgeous cold-weather dish, especially as you get two courses for the effort of one. As the stew is cooked entirely with the lid on, and because there are no starches, the stock, meat juices, herbs and lemon all come together as a broth which is wonderfully aromatic and a perfect start to your meal.

Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage - the ingredients are fresh and so simple. Other than the pork, just celery, onion, sage leaves and one of bay, and half a lemon. It all comes together synergistically, and wonderfully.

Second course, the pork itself, is perfect served with Slow Simmered Cabbage with Apple and Spice, and mashed cauliflour, or boiled cassava. The meat falls apart as your fork enters it. It is soft in your mouth, and so full of flavour. It has you reaching for an extra helping, even though, really, you’re full.

I’ve said in the recipe that it serves two. What I mean is that it serves two with left-overs. Enough left-overs for breakfast, but not really enough to serve four hungry adults at one sitting. We put all the leftovers, including the cabbage and cauliflour and whatever else is left, into a container and store it in the fridge. We skip a day, so as not to overdo it, and then the following morning we just put the lot into a frypan, add some more stock, stir it around and heat it up.

I love our Paleo Lifestyle, but sometimes I become overwhelmed with just how much time I am dedicating to the hunting, gathering and preparation of food. Dishes like this help keep me sane, because they use simple ingredients and can be spread out across two or three different meals, being transformed in the process.

Lemon Zest and Lemon Flesh for Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage.

If you don’t love lemon as much as we do, I’d say make it first with just the zest. The next time, be more daring. Remove the zest with a good vegetable peeler (we like this one), and then, using a sharp knife, slice the pith from the fruit. Then chop the fruit, removing the seeds, but catch the juice.

Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage, all the ingredients in the pot, and with just enough stock to come to the surface.

Add the lot to your Dutch Oven or slow cooker, mix it all up, and add enough broth to just come to the surface. Pop on the lid, bring it to the boil, turn down to a simmer, and let it cook for a long time.

Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage gives you two dishes for the effort of one - a wonderful, aromatic broth, followed by fall-apart pork pieces. The lemon is zesty and fresh, and the sage is cleansing. It's a beautiful stew for mid-winter days.

While this is simmering away, grab another pot and throw together the Slow Simmered Cabbage with Apple and Spice.

Enjoy your meal – I’m sure you will – and enjoy your wintery days.

      Hi Tessa, Oh, thanks so much for featuring my recipe, I’m honoured! It is a very lovely dish, we love it. My next step is to recreate it for the Instant Pot – ours arrived a couple of weeks ago and we’re in full enthusiastic experimental mode.

      Hi Cindy, Yes! I published this recipe before I had an Instant Pot… and of course since the IP arrived I never use anything else. I do the 20 minute default setting on the Meat/Stew function, and it’s perfect. Hope you like it! A

I just made a Reel! First time, thus not a very go I just made a Reel! First time, thus not a very good one. Like everything: you’ve got to practice.

In my first year of healing (2014-15) I did a Reset 4 times. Food is complicated. It’s so obviously not so much about nutrition as it is about addiction, emotions, habits. About how we identify ourselves and how we define happiness, togetherness, family, ritual, reward.

Takes a long time to reprogram all that. But you keep practicing. It gets easier. And then at some point the new way of doing things becomes natural, normal, the new you.

For me, it’s worth it - to not be dependent on pharmaceuticals & painkillers. To not be paying health professionals of all kinds every week. To be managing my situation through food & lifestyle choices. To feel strong.

If you need help setting up a new Heath practice & sticking to it until you get there - get in touch. I was at the point where I said, “I’ve got nothing to lose.” If you’re at that point, I can tell you - nothing to lose, and a lot to gain. 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

Caesar Salad! How good is it? Boiled egg, anchovie Caesar Salad! How good is it? Boiled egg, anchovies, shards of aged parmigiano, bacon cubes and croutons fried in the bacon fat. Perfectly, wonderfully balanced.

I made my 3-Seed Paleo loaf the day before so it was ready for the croutons. And we don’t have cos lettuce here so I used Belgium Endive. It was great. One of those dishes that when you make it, you think, why don’t I make this more often?

I adapted the recipe from Stephanie Alexander’s “The Cook’s Companion”.

This is how I made the dressing:

🥄 1 teaspoon salt
🥄 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
🥄 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
🥄 1 teaspoon lemon juice
🥄 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
🥄 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 egg

1. Mix all ingredients together in a screw top jar. Shake well and set aside.

Fabulous. Try it!

All dietary fats have received a lot of bad press All dietary fats have received a lot of bad press over the last 70 years... but they're making a comeback. The good ones, that is. The evil ones should be abolished for life. Do you know the different families?

	🍳	Saturated fats are an excellent source of fat, especially for cooking
	🥑	Monounsaturated fats are a great source of fat
	🥐	Polyunsaturated fats are difficult
	🍟	Trans fats, or “partially hydrogenated fats”, are poison...

🥑🥥 Healthy fats are super satisfying. They taste good and, together with complete, quality protein, they provide the feeling of satiety. With the right amount of fat in our meals we feel full for a long time, which means we’re less likely to go hunting for unhealthy snacks.

Constipation. Diarrhea. Bloating. Cramps. Gas. Tho Constipation. Diarrhea. Bloating. Cramps. Gas. Thought that was all normal. I mean, I’d lived with it all my life.

When I was around 28 I had sinusitis for the first time. Thought that was normal -everyone else suffered it. Over 10 years it evolved into a copious and weird production of mucous. Anything that I ate: mucous. At night, swimming in mucous.
Didn’t think it was normal, but had no idea what it was.

There was the depression. The brain fog. The chronic fatigue. Thought all that was kind of normal. Female stuff.

Then there was the tendinitis. Thought that was normal - a side effect of the work I was doing. That eventually evolved into chronic pain and debilitating contractions when I was in my mid 40s. No health professional could explain what was going on.

Then the blood tests came back positive for auto-immunity. A future dependent on painkillers and pharms? That was scary.

I was lucky. In 2014 my husband and I committed to trying this new, strange Paleo diet thing for 30 days. Everything changed. Suddenly. Incredibly. For the better. For both of us.

What we learnt was that all of that stuff was not normal. They’re all signs that the immune system is working overtime. And you just need to give it (the immune system) a break.
