Mixed Salad with Pork Fillet


What a wonderful Saturday in Stellenbosch it was yesterday ! perfect spring day with 25 deg C, the slow food market buzzing, and with the great company of girlfriends wandering through the market trying out food, clothes and all, buying goodies to come home to make a lekker lunch. Before heading to my place, we stopped off at one of my favourite wine estates Muratie. Muratie still has the charm of yesteryear compared to the glitz and glamour of the newer estates. So after sampling some of their best, we left with a car full of cases of their fabulous wines.


For lunch a made a huge salad of fresh vegies, topped with slices of spicy pieces of pork fillet and accompanied by fresh Fairview bread baked in this dark crust which so reminds me of the farmers bread in Basel, Switzerland where I grew up.

Ingredients for the Salad:

Mixed green lettuce leaves
cocktail tomatoes
Israeli little cucumber sliced on a Mandolin
Celery also finely sliced on Mandoline
Yellow pepper
sliced mushrooms
big juicy olives
2 hard boiled eggs
carrots finely julienned
Avocado 
1 pork fillet sliced and fried in about 2 Tbsp of Nomu pork rub and a handful of fresh sage leaves

Dressing was just Olive Oil
very good Balsamic
a bit of Verlaque with pomegranate 
tsp of Dijon mustard
salt & pepper



All washed down with lots of Boplas sparkling wine and lots of laughter and good stories
