- Tesco Finest Chef’s Collection Hand-Finished Melt in the Middle Pork Wellington: “Now if you’re looking for something a little different this year, this indulgent wellington makes a perfect alternative to turkey. Inspired by the classic beef wellington, we’ve given ours a cheeky twist with a caramelised red onion and fig chutney centre. My pork wellington is super easy to cook and it’s a real family favourite! If you have any leftovers, enjoy cold with a dollop of English mustard,” said Neel Shah, Tesco development chef
- Tesco Finest Chef’s Collection Squash, Apple & Sage Stuffed Pork Noisette: “The perfect dish to impress your family and friends this Christmas, and we’ve done all the hard work for you. All you need to do is give the skin of this pork loin a really good seasoning with sea salt before popping into the oven to ensure top notch crackling,” said Jamie Robinson, Tesco executive chef
- Tesco Finest Chef’s Collection Winter Vegetable & Three Cheese Pastry Pithivier: “My festive showstopping pithivier is a versatile vegetarian centrepiece.
