The PH Cooking competition no2: Pork
Discussion
Pork.
Its my favourite meat. Its widely available (although I realise its expensive in Dubai -sorry relevant chaps).
I'm not going to specify any other ingredient because its nice to keep things simple and inclusive. Ergo you can make your own sausages, Sunday roast it, cure it, smoke it, pan fry it, get the slow cooker/BBQ out whatever.
-Dates, if we were to start posting pics from Monday 14th, with closing date Saturday-night 19th, with 3 day's voting, the whole thing will take up a fortnight. That OK?
As before, max 3 pics showing preparation/final dish.
ETA just read oilydan's suggestion properly about running from the 1st of the month. -What do people want to do?

We haven't yet had the obligatory "What's that green s
t?" question. Its a (stunningly) strong contender. But previous competitions have thrown up some winners who cooked simpler dishes...
I'm still in with a chance!
My effort. Not a winner this week but I was very happy with the outcome as everything went to plan and tasted largely as I wanted it to.
Pork Tenderloin wrapped in proscuitto, cooked pink, with a spring onion, smoked bacon and thyme stuffing, served with a reduced white wine, mustard and pork stock gravy.
Buttered savoy cabbage
Black pudding and apple rissole
Home-made pork scratchings with a rhubarb and damson jelly.
Couldn't believe that Tony beat me to it with tenderloin, a croquette, black pudding, apple, belly pork crackling etc etc, but I promise I came up with the dish independently!
Pork scratchings were so easy to make and worked perfectly. Excellent recipe here: http://justcookit.blogspot.com/2009/02/homemade-po...
Rissole also worked well with the creamy mash just taking the edge off the black pudding and apple flvours so they didn't overpower the pork.
Just annoyed with my main photo, was so fecking hungry -and didn't want it to get cold so forgot to make it as tidy as it should have been.

Voting threads now up people.
I say 'threads' because I've had to split it across 2 polls due to limitations on the number of spaces in the poll and our 13 entries this time. So visit both polls folks! Dish with most votes wins. Predictably. Polls shut Wed night at midnight.
Poll A is here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Poll B is here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Not much recent voting activity and I'm sure you all want to crack on with the next competition, so voting is now closed.
The results at 22:30, (no further votes now counted)
Bear in mind that this table combines the votes from 2 polls which had different numbers of total votes. Hence the %'s aren't comparable.
So, warm congrats to Tony who was a worthy winner. -Tony, think of this as positive market research for the restaurant! You get to set the next ingredient(s) after your virtual glass of Champagne.
Special mention to Cotty who showed that a simple, but well executed dish will always have appeal to hungry voters.
And many thanks to everyone who was brave enough to take part. As others have said, not a dish here that I wouldn't happily tuck in to.
