Pork Joint.......What else?

[eieio]

I have a huge joint of pork that I am cooking tomorrow. Problem being is that there will be half of it left over, what else can I do with it?

Suggestions greatly received.

Sliced cold with chips and egg next day. Chopped into small cubes and stir-fried with onions, garlic, ginger, various veg (to taste) and cooled boiled rice to make a risotto-stir fry sort of thing. Those are the ways my lot like it stretched. If you still have some left, chop it up and casserole it - it doesn't matter if it is already cooked - do it in the slow cooker and it will crumble into the stock/sauce.

My choices would be;

Mince the cooked leftovers and stirfry with beansprouts, ginger, spring onion, garlic, chili, soy sauce and star anise; mix with cooked rice; stuff some wilted cabbage leaves with it and steam for a couple of minutes.

or

Similar, but stuffing rice paper rolls, frying off, then dipping in sweet chili sauce.

Fantastic ideas. Never thought about stir-frying it.

Goulash n dumplings - winter weather, so winter food!

You could also shred it up, and serve with pancake rolls,spring onion,and hoi sin sauce for a version of shredded pork pancake rolls

Chop up some onions and leeks, heat in a pan until soft, add a splash of white wine. Fry some bacon bits and then add the chopped up pork then a cream sauce, some peas and heat gently for a bit.

Spoon the mix into some pie dishes, lay some ready rolled pastry over the top, eggwash and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.

Served with some asparagus to dip into the sauce.

The standard standby for cold roast meat is a variation on cottage pie, or spaghetti not-quite-bolognese , or you might try chilli con pork (using the meat minced OR diced), or a curry, or.......
There are HUNDREDS of things you can do with cold roast meat, and on the whole, which meat it is only makes for an interesting variation on the theme!

Or, do as HeyWayne suggests above for the first bit instead of wine use cider and instead of peas, a little cubed apple, then make a suet pastry, and line a pudding basin/ramekin, top with more suet pastry, cover and steam. Serve with mash, gravy and apple sauce.

Roast pork sandwiches! Yumm!
Minced and mixed with finely diced onion, sage and mashed potatoes - pork patties - especially fine with a chilli dipping sauce!
Bet you've eaten it all by now anyway!

The Wayne special (see a few posts back) could be used as a filling for jacket spuds, instead of in a pie.....
