Pulled Pork Sliders

I was at local supermarket picking up a few bits and pieces. Looking in the fresh meat section I came across this…

Sliders have been all the rage for sometime and thought this par cooked pulled pork would be perfect for the Airfryer!

And the result…

The pulled pork was surprisingly melt in the mouth and perfect with cheesy bacon chips.

With the bonus of having two Airfryers, all of this was done in 15 minutes!

The pork can be finished in the microwave, oven or stove top for conventional cooking.

If using an Airfryer (one only), finish the pork first as more ideal to keep this warm while you cook bacon and chips.

Ingredients
Pulled pork
Sliders
Oven fries
Bacon pieces
Grated American cheddar cheese

Your choice of salad (optional)

Method
Cook the pork for 15 minutes at 180 degrees in a baking dish or cake tin stirring occasionally.

Place oven fries and bacon in second Airfryer (if using two). Bacon can go in with the fries in a small oven proof dish/bowl.

Cook bacon and fries for 14 minutes at 200 degrees stirring bacon occasionally.

Once bacon and fries are done, place together into a bowl, cover with grated cheese and pop in the microwave to melt the cheese.

Place the sliders in the Airfryer and lightly toast for 3-4 minutes at 180 degrees.

How to serve…? That’s entirely up to how you like.

No matter what method you use, this meal can be enjoyed in under 20 minutes!

Temperatures and times don’t change with whatever method of cooking you choose.

Enjoy!

Bratkartoffeln

This is one of my favourite dishes, that can be easily eaten on its own or a complimentary side of a meal.

Perfect for those hearty meat dishes.

This is something I grew up on coming from a family with German heritage. There’s many variations but the core Ingredients to bratkartoffeln is potatoes and bacon.

Like my mum, I like to have egg through it.

So basically bratkartoffeln is fried potato with bacon. It’s something you can add what you like to, whether it be onion, capsicum, cheese, pine nuts, cashews etc.

Ingredients
Potatoes (4 medium sized)
Bacon rashes (cut into small pieces)
2 whisked eggs
Salt and pepper to taste

* based on 2-3 people

Method
First you’ll need to peel and cut your potatoes in halves.

Place potatoes in water, bring to the boil and boil for 10 minutes. You still want your potatoes to be firm, so that a skewer goes in and out cleanly.

Remove potatoes and let cool, either at room temperature or in the fridge.

Once cooled slice or cut potatoes however you like them, add to a hot pan with a little oil.

Fry the potatoes until you just start to see some colour, then add your bacon (and whatever else you may want to add).

Fry to your liking, add the egg and continue to cook until the egg is done.

I like to drizzle lemon over the bratkartoffeln once its plated and a little salt.

A simple dish that allows you to be as creative as you like or just enjoy its simplicity.

But it’s got Bacon!

It might be a little different and maybe even a little strange. But airfried apple wrapped in bacon tastes amazing!

But hey, it’s got bacon so it has to be good!

Lightly dusted with nutmeg and for me, because it has bacon, drizzled with maple syrup.

Ingredients
1 granny smith apple cut in quarters
4 rashers of hickory smoked bacon
Nutmeg
Maple syrup

Method

Cut apple into quarters removing seeds and centre and dust with nutmeg.

But first you need to leave your bacon rashers at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Then wrap your apples with the bacon rashers and place in the fridge for a further 20 minutes.

Set temperature on your Airfryer to 160 degrees and bake for 12 minutes

Seriously… ENJOY!

Pigtails

Airfried bacon wrapped prawns with hickory smoked bacon.

Ingredients
Your choice of prawns
Hickory smoked bacon

Method
Leave bacon strips out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Trim bacon if needed and wrap prawns in the bacon.
Place pigtails back in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Set temperature on the Airfryer to 200 degrees.
Place pigtails in the basket of Airfryer and set time for 7 minutes.
