Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
2 fillets of pork
100g breadcrumbs
100ml pig's blood
500ml gode broth (made without breadcrumbs)
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp Powder douce
salt, to taste
Method:
Rub the pork with a little olive oil, sit on a roasting tin then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and roast for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest.
In the meantime, soak the breadcrumbs in the broth for 10 minutes then work in the pig's blood and vinegar. Turn into a pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until thickened then slice the pork fillets and add these to the pan.
Return to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 20 minutes more. Season with the powder douce and salt then turn into a serving dish and bring to the table.
