Mt Gnomon Shredded Pork and Dover Cherries

01 / ABOUT THE DISH

About the dish

This Tasmanian specialty uses Tasmanian cherries and free-range pork, and it consists of small pastry tarts with a sweet and savory cherry-pork filling. Pieces of pork shoulder are first cooked in a small amount of water with finely sliced onions and then pulled into little meat shreds before they are combined with chopped pickled cherries and rocket leaves and seasoned with salt and pepper. The resulting mixture is typically spooned into tartlets, but it can also be tucked into a toasted French baguette for a change. This dish can be enjoyed as a starter, a side dish, or a light lunch, and it also makes for a great addition to the Christmas table.
