The Sizzle - Rob McKnight and Rebecca Wilson

On the show: Feegs kicks off your Saturday with a short recap of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, including performances from Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and appearances by some of sports biggest names. 

Feegs is also fired up about Premier Steven Miles, with taxpayers forking out nearly $170,000 for two private jets to zip Premier Miles, the police commissioner and their respective entourages during a five-day cross-Queensland media blitz - when it seems they could all have fit on one jet. Feegs questions if these moves pass the pub test and calls for more cost-saving travel alternatives. 

Acting Assistant Police Commissioner Andrew Massingham joins for a weekly update on the latest local crime issues and statistics. AAC Massingham provides us with an update on Taskforce Guardian and discusses a recent case involving a teen who has pled guilty after causing a triple fatal crash in Maryborough last year.

Aspire Retire Financial Services co-founder Olivia Maragna joins for Money Talks. Olivia tells us more about the recently reported “baby recession” - which see’s people postponing or forgoing having children due to cost of living pressures; growing inequality between Australia’s richest 1 percent and those supporting a wealth tax on those with over $50 million of wealth; and a warning from Centrelink that recipients may need to amend their tax returns even if they have already lodged them.

For our Local Issues segment: Liberal MP for Herbert, Phillip Thompson, joins to elaborate more on his recent accusations that the Australian Defence Force are lagging behind the major sporting codes in protecting personnel from serious brain injuries. Philip talks about his own experiences serving in the defence force and the protocols that he thinks should be implemented to help veterans.

Broncos assistant coach John Cartwright joins ahead of what has been described as “the most important game this season”. With The Broncos set to face the much improved Bulldogs this afternoon, Carty gives us insights into the state of the team and what he expects in performance.

4BC Sports Reporter Sam Leckie joins Former Wallaby, Red’s Fly Half and Stan Sports commentator Nick ‘Pickle’ Frisby to cover all the latest from the weekend’s action. PLUS Celebrity chef Adrian ‘Richo’ Richardson shares his recipe for Pork Fillet Medallions with Prosciutto and Porcini Butter.

FULL SHOW: Weekends with Peter Fegan - Saturday, 27th July 2024

Celebrity chef Adrian ‘Richo’ Richardson shares his recipe for Pork Fillet Medallions with Prosciutto and Porcini Butter.



Ingredients

6 pork fillets (about 1.5 kg total weight)
Marinade
18 slices prosciutto
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
salt
1 tablespoon chopped sage
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
120 g Porcini Butter (page 348)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Method:

Lay the pork fillets out on your work surface. From the thick end, cut 2 even-sized medallions, about 5 cm thick. This will leave a longer, thinner tail-end piece.

Make an incision half-way along this remaining piece, nearly all the way through.

Fold the skinny tail-end underneath to form a third medallion that is roughly the same size as the other two. Repeat with all 6 pork fillets, so that you end up with 18 medallions in total.

Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Rub into the medallions so they are evenly coated. Cover and transfer to the fridge to marinate for 1 hour or overnight.

When ready to cook, preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each pork medallion and skewer them in batches of three. Season with pepper and a little salt - but remember that the prosciutto is quite salty. Brush lightly with oil and grill for 8 minutes. Turn the skewers every couple of minutes, to ensure that they cook evenly.

Serve the pork medallions on their skewers, topping each with a slice of porcini butter that will melt and create a delicious sauce.

Serves 6
