Method
We asked local food bloggers to share their favourite pork dishes with us. Here is blogger Kacie Morgan’s recipe, who writes The Rare Welsh Bit. These cutlets are just the thing for a cold, winter’s evening; the chorizo is crisp and smoky and its juices taste delicious soaked into the pork. Taken from the rib end of the pork loin, cutlets are a medallion of meat with the cutlet bone retained, which adds flavour whilst cooking.
