A real favourite of mine as it is incredibly tasty, and the pork is tender and not dry. What’s more, it is quick to cook so perfect for a midweek supper. Finally, you don’t need lots of expensive ingredients, most of them will already be in your store cupboard or pantry.

As to the ketchup trust me this is one of the simplest and tastiest ways, I know of serving prawns.
