For a warming and hearty meal that will fill up the whole family and leave them feeling really satisfied, try this delicious casserole recipe this month.
With zesty flavours thanks to the lemon juice and capers, this dish makes the most of pork loin and is great when served up with a crunchy salad, rice, or potatoes.
Fennel seeds and crème fraiche also give this dish an added layer of flavour, but it’s all made in one pot and only takes 35 minutes in total – meaning it’s a great week night dinner option if you want something speedy that doesn’t take too much washing up.
