Pork with plum vinegar and silverbeet
This is my conception of an English stir-fry. It is quick to prepare, but uses typically English flavours and ingredients. Rather than being served with rice, it is served with barley. The flavour combination, colours and textures work excellently. I was inspired by the sweetness of the free range pork produced by Boxgum Grazing, and thought it would pair so beautifully with the Blood Plum Finishing Vinegar produced by La Barre. It is a delicious, very healthy meal.
