Pork is a flavoursome meat that goes brilliantly with zesty Asian flavours and classic European-style herbs. When minced, it’s very easy to cook with and works in everything from burgers and meatballs to pork mince stir fry recipes. Pork mince is traditionally used in Italian lasagne and French terrines, but it goes equally as well in a spiced Mexican quesadilla, meaning it’s the perfect basis for a range of family dinners.
We have a variety of versatile minced pork recipes showcasing how you can use more of this meat in your cooking. Looking for more healthy mince recipes or pork dinners? These easy mid-week meals are bound to satisfy the whole family.
