Ground pork

Ground pork is one of the most versatile and widely used ingredients in everyday cooking. It is made by mincing pork cuts such as shoulder, neck or belly, with varying fat content depending on the cut used. It is affordable, easy to find and suits a wide range of dishes. It is commonly used for meatloaf, meatballs, stuffed peppers, Bolognese sauce, lasagne and dumplings. Ground pork has a rich, full flavour and a slightly pink colour when raw. It should always be thoroughly cooked before eating. When buying, look for fresh meat with a pleasant smell and store it in the refrigerator.
