Equilibrium-Brined Pork Belly

Posted in Food, Pork, Sous VideLeave a comment

Brining has been in the culinary home cook’s lexicon for the better part of maybe 15 years now. I first heard about it in a beloved episode of Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” where he brines the Thanksgiving turkey. It sounded so damn cool and science-y. It is a powerful trick that anyone can do and…… Continue reading Equilibrium-Brined Pork Belly

  Mid-week dinners do not have to be boring, sloppy or rushed. A meal like this looks great, tastes awesome and comes together in less than an hour. The only shopping i did for this was to stop by at the store to figure out what the protein is going to be. It could’ve been…… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin, Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts with Cider Sauce

Coppa e Cavatelli: Pork Collar in Whey, Ricotta Cavatelli, Onions and Peas

Pork collar is normally cured and dried and is the delicious coppa that I’ve posted about before. Chefs figured out that this cut can be more versatile than just a salted and cured coppa. I’ve seen several recipes in books and restaurant menus recently that treat this marbled cut like an awesome pork loin. It has…… Continue reading Coppa e Cavatelli: Pork Collar in Whey, Ricotta Cavatelli, Onions and Peas

When Jason from Yonder Way Farm asked me if I want the pork belly pieces he had on hand as I was picking up some meat from him my instant response was “well, of course I do!” These are nice slabs of about 5 lbs each and around 2 inches thick. I only wish they…… Continue reading Pork Belly Buns

Thai Curry Pork, Forbidden Rice and Watermelon

Posted in Fish, Food, Fruits, Grains, Pork, Sous Vide2 Comments

Thai curries are one of my favorite south Asian foods that I don’t cook as much as I should. Every time I make it at home from scratch by pounding (actually, usually I use the food processor and then finish the paste in the mortar) together chilies, lemongrass, shallots, galangal and a host of other…… Continue reading Thai Curry Pork, Forbidden Rice and Watermelon

The Fat Duck: Pot-Roast Loin of Pork, Braised Belly, Gratin of Truffled Macaroni

I will kick this off by saying that this is every bit as delicious and as satisfying as it looks. It’s a great comforting combination of a cured piece of pork belly, a perfect impeccably cooked portion of loin, tart cabbage cooked with onions and bacon, seared marinated mushrooms and a rich flavor-packed pork sauce…… Continue reading The Fat Duck: Pot-Roast Loin of Pork, Braised Belly, Gratin of Truffled Macaroni
