The famous SOAP dish

Hi !!!!

I’m going to try this today 😁. The thought of it has cheered me up.

I only had time to cook it for one hour then 20 minutes but it was very good.
I used a large leek, not an onion, fresh sage and a Bramley apple.

Thank you for the recipe!

How was it Allira?

I'm going to try this tonight 🙂

Ziplock you’d think so but I think the water just gently ‘steams’ the meat. I don’t like my pork too lean so I buy steaks with more fat (which melts) and the pork is delicious.

FGT2 AKA URMS - got it 👍

Yes, I’m curious too Maw!

Re: using letters to make into words is a habit of mine. I do it as a aide memoire quite often for shopping, tasks to do etc. Yes, I could write them down but if I’m drifting off to sleep I find rearranging said letters in my head helps me to remember stuff the next morning! It’s the Virgo in me. 😁

Virgo - "a nit-picky perfectionist"

Not my definition, I should hasten to add! I have a Virgo DGD, not sure if that applies to her but then teenagers are a different species.

I’ve not made this dish, though done similar. However, is 90 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees rather a long time for pork steaks? Won’t they be a bit tough and over cooked as they are quite lean.

Has anyone made the SOAP dish with prime pork sausages? I often have some of those in the freezer.

Yes, Daughters have used sausage - cooking SOAPR on the hob.

I can usually decode the acronyms- like a puzzle sometimes🙃
It’s the “dear” business that gets my goat. I have never referred to anyone I know in normal speech as that.

The D can also stand for damned, dratted or a whole lot of other adjectives (if they are still called adjectives and haven't morphed into co-additive descriptors or some similar neologism).

When I first encountered ‘dh’ on a forum, well over 20 years ago now, I thought the ‘d’ stood for ‘dopey’!

Glad you enjoyed it Witzend! It’s so easy isn’t it? Hardly any effort which suits my nature.

Also lovely with drained, rinsed, sauteed sauerkraut - below the browned rice, chopped onions, apples, sage, and pork. German method.

On first reading the title I thought it was a mis-spelling of SPO - Sausages, Potato, and Onion.

Yes, definitely one for the repertoire! Only slight issue for me, is that I do the bulk of my food shopping in Asda, where most or all of the pork is from EU countries well known (or notorious) for factory farming, so I have to go further into town, to M&S or Waitrose.

Ooh, what’s Betty’sLeg?

Oh dear M0nica, I hardly think a jokey (but useful acronym) name is likely to spoil a good recipe!
If so, what hope is there for Spotted Dick or Betty’s Leg - even Toad in the Hole ?

Made it last night, with a couple of pork chops, not cut up. Worked v well.

I looked up my SOAP recipe today, I planned it for tomorrow before this thread started.

It is called 'casserole of pork with apple and sage', but the recipe includes onions, However it is, as it says a casserole and uses diced pork. I will cook it long and slow in my slow cooker - and when cooked I may well stir some cream through it.

I have been on GN since a few weeks after it began and have never come across SOAP. I still do not see what is so special about it. I am sure there are lots of recipes lists of ingredients can be treated as anagrams and produce words.

Not that I am going to try, better things to do

Glad to see you seem to have changed your mind M0nica

RoseMaw2 No change of mind, I had just never heard the term SOAP used to describe the dish, and now I have, I have no intention of using it. it would ruin a really nice casserole. To me it will remain 'a casserole of pork with apple and sage.

Correction: To finish -- on time. Creme fraiche over, to serve.
