Shredded Tenderloin Pork

I had 5.5 lbs of tenderloin pork, 3 roasts worth. I seared them with onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 T cumin, 1 T oregano, and olive oil. Then I pressure cooked for 70 minutes. It was partially frozen initially, so if thawed I would subtract 20 minutes or something. It wasn't very flavorful on its own, but with tostadas and other toppings it worked fine. It shredded easily, but didn't have the same flavor as a pork butt because it was so lean. I prefer the pork butt/shoulder for shredded pork.

This recipe was ok. Not enough flavor.

I made this with Bob's red mill GF flour mix and it bombed. It separated into layers. GF flour on top, then corn, then custard, then cornmeal on bottom. It was good in its own way, but was not bready like in the picture, or what I was expecting. Will not make again.

Black Bean Soup

This had too much bacon. I would put in 3 or 4 strips at most next time if I make it again. I'm not really loving this as much as everyone else did in the reviews. I wanted a soup too, and it turned into more of a super thick chili.

Scotch Eggs

This is from a Paleo cookbook I recently purchased called Well Fed. Someone blogs about the recipe here: http://lowcarbcookery.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/scotch-eggs-from-well-fed/

Anyway, it is really good. I used almost all of a 3.75 oz bag of pork rinds. I probably coated them too thick, it is hard not to, so I was running out of the 2 oz and so crushed more. We each had one as the main course of dinner. It felt really fancy, and is a great way to have eggs be the star of the meal. David loved the pork rind. Non-paleo versions of this recipe on line use breadcrumbs instead of ground pork rind, but even if I had the choice I'm not sure i would use breadcrumbs after seeing how much David liked this.

Update: I am not loving the leftovers. It is too strong flavored for me. Maybe with another kind of meat or different seasonings, but as is it is not that appetizing to me. It would be better if the meat later was thinner, maybe with 3 oz ground meat per egg instead of 4.

David loved this. I thought it was ok. There wasn't near enough stuffing in my opinion.
