Sunday Lunch recipe! Use leftovers for scrumptious sandwiches!

Ingredients for 4:

1 kg pork loin (ask the butcher to open the loin for you so that you can put some filling and roll it )

2 large leeks

1 lemon

200ml water

1 tsp sugar

rosemary sprigs

white wine

salt & pepper

Grate the lemon rind into strips and put into a pan with the water and sugar. Leave to cook for 10 minutes then drain and keep aside. Cut the leeks into 4 and boil them in salted water for 2 minutes. Dry them with paper napkins. Place the pork loin on a flat surface and position the leeks on top of it, add the lemon rind, rosemary sprigs, salt & pepper. Roll the pork and tie with kitchen string until it is firmly secured. Put some olive oil in a pan, add the meat and seal it from all sides. Place in an ovenproof dish, pour the wine and cook for 40 minutes on 200 degree Celsius. You can use a roasting bag to keep the juices secured. When ready leave to cool, slice and serve cold or warm with some roasted potatoes and mango chutney.
