Hints and tips
- Chicken can be substituted for pork.
- Pork scotch fillet is also known as collar butt and pork neck. This cut of meat has a nice amount of fat that contributes to great flavour.
- The vacuum sealing drawer can also be used when marinating the pork to intensify the flavour. Place the pork into a vacuum sealing bag with the marinade. Place into the vacuum sealing drawer and Vacuum on setting 3 and Seal on setting 3. Leave to marinate for 2-3 hours.
