Chevre en Croute with Tomato Sauce
Braised Pork with Leek Sauce
Alsatian Potatoes
Creamed Savoy Cabbage

Cooking time:  90 minutes with break for menu       Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     The goat cheese is the kind that comes in a log with a white rind, not the soft, spreadable kind.  You could substitute Brie or Camembert. Use any leftover pimento in the Enchiladas. Leftover Pork will be used in the Risotto.

Chevre en Croute with Tomato Sauce

Total time: 25 minutes  
     You want two 5" - 6" (14cm) squares of puff pastry for these.  It should be about 1/2 of a sheet. You will find it in either the refrigerated or freezer section. Refrigerate the rest for another use; it will keep for a week or 2.

Braised Pork with Leeks

Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes 
       Braising does wonderful things to a pork roast: keeping it moist and making it very tender.   This is served with a White Wine and Leek Sauce.  There will be enough pork left for another meal...

Alsatian Potatoes

Total time: 40 minutes  
     Instead of the usual boiled potatoes try this tasty alternative: Potatoes and onions simmered slowly in chicken broth, which they absorb by the end of cooking time.
