Finding good, tasty, gluten free food can be a struggle and to people newly diagnosed as gluten intolerant it can be hard to find ingredients too. We believe that if you find something good then why not make the most of it, and as many of our meals, soups, and sauces are gluten free we thought "why not use some of our dishes as ingredients - to make more great recipes?".
Our chefs have developed four delicious recipes using Look What We Found! dishes as ingredients, why not try them for yourself. We'd love to show your favorite recipes here too, so do please send them in!

Honey Mustard Pork Supreme
Bistro cooking at its best – ideal for a dinner party all made possible with LWWF Honey Mustard Sauce. Try this dish with boneless chicken breast too. - Serves 2
Ingredients:
Small knob butter – about 20g
1 tsp olive oil
2 boneless pork loins or pork steaks
1 small onion, finely diced
100g button mushrooms cut in half or sliced
1 x 200g LWWF Honey Mustard Sauce
Method:
- Melt the butter and oil together in a frying pan over a medium heat until bubbling. Add the pork loins and sizzle until golden brown all over, turn frequently.
- Add the onion and fry for a further 2 /3 minutes, then add the mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid from a large saucepan and braise for about 10 minutes, turning the pork once or twice. It is important to cover the pan, as this keeps the pork moist and stops the juices evaporating.
- Remove the lid and stir in the Honey Mustard Sauce and bubble gently stirring occasionally for about a minute.
- Pile onto crushed new potatoes and serve with a selection of seasonal vegetables.
