Tales from the Tigerfort

Recipe, as requested by various people....

Pork and olive casserole

2 lbs fat pork (shoulder, belly, etc), diced
2 tblspoons olive oil
1 tblspoon plain flour
2 medium-sized onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic (or more :)
1 tsp dried basil
400g tin tomatoes
Glass red wine
1 green pepper, chopped
50g olives

Seal the meat in a hot fryingpan and transfer to a casserole. Brown the onions, add the flour, and stir until the flour is well mixed into the fat. Add tomatoes, wine, garlic and basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil, while stirring, then add to casserole and put in the oven. Oven should be preheated to Mk 4 but put down to 2 when the dish is put in. Cook for 1 1/2 hrs. Add chopped green pepper and olives, and cook for a further 1/2 hr.

Should serve 4-6ish from this quantity, depending on hunger/greed.

I mentioned these to several people at the banquet, in particular freya_9, so it seemed easier to post the link, rather than trying to remember who I should email it to:

Edible googly eyes!

The edible flying spaghetti monster is quite impressive, but I'm not sure I'd want to actually eat one.... (Marshmallows, yes; egg noodles, yes. Marshmallow-coated uncooked egg noodles? Not so sure.)
