Pork: Boiled
Pork Rillettes
--------------
1 lb pork fillet
freshly ground black pepper
pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 lb best lard
1/4 pint boiling water
2 bay leaves plus extra for garnish
6 ramekins or small dishes.
Cut pork into 1 inch pieces, place in a bowl and season generously
with freshly ground black pepper. Add cayenne and nutmeg and mix well.
Place meat in a heavy based saucepan with the lard and bayleaves.
Add water, bring back to the boil then simmer gently for about 45 mins
or until the liquid has reduced by almost half.
Remove and toss away bay leaves. Lift out meat with a slotted spoon,
strain liquid and keep to one side.
Pass the meat through the finest blade of your mincer or put through
food processor.Place the minced meat into a bowl and beat in half of
the reserved liquid with a wooden spoon. Correct the seasoning and
spoon the mixture into ramekins, smoothing over the tops with back of
a spoon. Leave to cool.
If serving the same day, leave in fridge to cool until ready to serve.
If serving later pour over the remaining fat and allow to set over the
top of the meat mix. They will keep in fridge this way for up to 2
weeks. To serve, remove the top coating of fat, garnish with bay leaf
and serve with celery sticks as a scoop or roll a little in a lettuce
leaf and eat with fingers.
This is a classic French provincial dish often served as hors
d'oeuvres. (serves 6)

Chitterlings
------------
10 lb. Chitterlings cut into 2" lengths
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. each thyme, clove, mace, allspice
1 bay leaf
1/4 c. sliced onions
3 red peper pods
2 tbs. apple juice
Wash in cold water, then soak 24 hours refigerated in cold salted water to
cover. Then wash again. Remove excess fat but leave some for flavor. Put in
a large pot with enough water to cover:
Bring slowly to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat at once and simmer 3

We were well along in years before we discovered the name of this dish
had an actual "ing" suffix on the end. For years we listened to our
ancestors call this dish "chittlins"

Chuletas de Puerco Criollas (Cuban Pork Chops)
----------------------------------------------
8 thin center-cut pork chops, about 4 oz. each
fresh-ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon ea. oregano and cumin
1/2 cup sour (Seville) orange juice OR
1/4 cup sweet orange juice mixed with 1/8 cup ea. lime and lemon juice
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/4 pure olive oil
1) Season the chops with pepper. In a mortar, crush the garlic, oregano,
and cumin together into a paste. Rub the chops with the garlic paste, place
in a non-reactive bowl, pour the orange juice over, and cover with the
sliced onions. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
2) Remove the chops from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and
reserve the marinade. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat
until fragrant, then brown the chops on both sides. Add reserved marinade,
including the onions,cover, and cook until the chops are tender, about 20
minutes--taken from _Memories of a Cuban Kitchen_ by Mary Urrutia Randelman
and Joan Schwartz.
A few things about this recipe:
-Cooking with the marinade that the raw meat was in is okay since you'll be
cooking it for 20 minutes.
- We browned the chops in the skillet and baked them with the marinade in a
baking dish in the oven at 350 d.F. instead.
-Cooking the chops for 20 minutes seemed like a long time to us (we usually
pan-fry them for 4 minutes on a side). They actually came out very tender,
however.

Pork: Crock Pot
Easy BBQ Pork
-------------
3-5 lb boneless pork roast or a Boston Butt with a small amount of bone
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (use the NeanderThin recipe) Place the
roast, garlic, and onion in a crock pot on high. Add the salt and pepper
and a little bit of water. Cook on high until you can easily shred the pork
roast with a fork. I would cook this in my crock pot (Rival) for about 5
hours. Remove the roast and shred the meat removing as much of the fat as
possible and the bone. Strain the grease in the crock pot, keeping any bits
of garlic and onion left and throwing out the grease. Place the shredded
meat back into the crock pot, along with the bits of garlic and onion. Pour
the BBQ sauce over all until the meat is covered. Mix well. Continue
cooking the pork in the crock pot for about three hours, on low. Very Good.

Pork: Stove Top
Spicy Meatballs (Abkhazura)
---------------------------
One of the liveliest preparations from Abkhazia on the Black Sea coast is
abkhazura) highly seasoned meatballs served with tkemali sauce. Extra
flavor is imparted to the meatballs by wrapping them in lacy caul fat,
which also enhances their appearance. But since caul fat is often hard to
find here, the meatballs may be shaped without it. This invigorating recipe
comes from Marina Mirianashvili. Serves 8.
1 pound pork butt
3/4 pound beef chuck
1 small onion, peeled
4 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon dried fenugreek
1/2 teaspoon dried summer savory
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons ground barberry or sumac
1 pound caul fat, if available
Citrus juice (lemon or lime)
Grind together the pork, beef, onion, and garlic. Work the spices in well
with your hands. (Stirring with a spoon will not blend the flavors
sufficiently.)
Soak the caul fat in warm water with a little citrus juice until it becomes
pliable, then cut it into 4-inch squares. Place a mound of ground meat
mixture on each square and enclose it in the fat to make a plump meatball.
Fry the meatballs over low heat until cooked through and nicely browned.
Serve with tkemali sauce.

Geera Pork
----------
Geera Pork (Trini Indian cuisine) is very spicy and even though you may be
under a little pressure because of the heat, you will always ask for more
Geera Pork!
What is Geera? Geera is the Hindi word for Cumin. Cumin are tiny seeds that
are among the top three spices used in Indian cooking. Geera is dark in
colour and has a distinct odour.
1 lb lean pork
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
2 grated garlic cloves
4 leaves shadon beni
2 pimento
2 teaspoon curry powder
2 hot peppers
2 teaspoons of geera/jeera powder (roasted cumin powder)
1 lime
2 tablespoon oil
Clean the pork and cut up in to pint size pieces. Place in a bowl of water
and squeeze the juice of one lime into the water. Allow the pork to soak in
the lime water for about five minutes.
Throw out the lime water, rinse the pork and season with salt, black
pepper, garlic. Finely chop the shadon bennie, deseed and also finely chop
the pimento. Add these two ingredients to the pork. Allow to marinate for
at least four hours.
After meat has marinated, put a medium size deep pot on the stove to hot.
Add the oil. Cumin seeds can also be used instead of the powder. If you
decided to use the cumin seeds, they will have to be roasted in a frying
pan (no oil) and then finely crushed with maybe a rolling pin.
Add the curry powder and the cumin (crushed roasted seeds or powder) to a
cup of water, mix to form a paste. Carefully a the curry mixture to hot oil
and allow to simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the seasoned pork and stir
until the port is coated with the curry powder.
Lower heat, cover and allow to simmer in its own juices for about 20-25
minutes or until almost cooked. It may be necessary to add about a half cup
of water if the liquid has dried up within the pot to avoid burning. Add
remainder of ingredients and stir thoroughly. Cook for an additional 5-10
minutes until tender.

Pork and Squash in Coconut Milk
-------------------------------
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, sliced
1 pound butternut squash or sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 can coconut milk, about 1 1/2 cups
3 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce) or salt to taste
Juice of a lime, or more to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish, optional.
1. Place oil in large skillet or casserole. Turn heat to medium-high. When
oil is hot, add pork. Cook without stirring until pork is nicely browned on
one side, about 5 minutes.
2. Add onion, and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens,
about 5 minutes. Add squash, coconut milk and 2 tablespoons nam pla or soy
sauce (or a big pinch of salt), and stir. Bring to a boil. Turn heat to
low, cover and simmer about 40 minutes, or until pork is tender but not dry.
3. Uncover, and add remaining nam pla; or taste, and add salt if needed.
If mixture is too loose for your taste, raise heat to high and reduce it
until it thickens. Stir in lime juice, then garnish with cilantro, and
serve.
Yield: 4 servings.
Variation: Substitute 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs for the pork.
The cooking time will be as little as 15 minutes from the time you add the
coconut milk. Or use 8 bone-in thighs, skin removed; the simmering time
will be about 30 minutes.

Pork: Roast
Roast Pork Tenderloin with Orange-Red Onions Salsa
--------------------------------------------------
Citrus, chiles, cumin, cilantro-this classic combination of hotweather
ingredients goes great with lean, clean pork tenderloin. I enjoy working
with the tenderloin, not only because it is healthful but also because it
is a good portion size and is very versatile, good for grilling or roasting,
whole or shaped into scallops. If you want to grill this instead of baking
it, grill over a medium-hot fire for 5 to 8 minutes per side or until done
to your liking. Serves 4 as entree
Salsa:
1 orange, peeled, seeds removed, and divided into sections
1 red onion, diced small
1 teaspoon minced garlic
5 tablespoons lime juice (about 3 limes)
1 teaspoon minced fresh red or green chile pepper of your choice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 pork tenderloins, each 10 to 12 ounces
Salt and freshly cracked black
pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil
Make the salsa: Combine all the salsa ingredients, mix well, and set aside.
(This mixture will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 3 or 4 days.)
Preheat the oven to 500°F. Sprinkle the tenderloins with salt and pepper
and heat the oil in a large saute pan until hot but not smoking. Add the
tenderloins and sear them well, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Place the tenderloins in a very lightly oiled baking pan and bake for 10 to
12 minutes, or until a peek inside shows just a trace of pink at the
center. (If you like your pork more well done, just leave it in the oven
another 2 to 3 minutes.)
Remove the tenderloin from the oven, allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes,
cut it into inch-thick slices, and serve with the orange-red onion salsa.

"Mom's" Pork Roast
------------------
But I made some changes that she probably would be shocked by! Anyway, I
thought it was tasty and kind of different, so here it is:
1 pork roast (I use the kind that is 2 pieces tied
together with string, so I can take them apart and get
the spices more evenly distributed)
Fresh garlic, minced (about 2 heaping teaspoons)
Fresh basil, minced (about 2 heaping teaspoons)
Rosemary (fresh or dried)
Fresh ground pepper
Wash the meat well, liberally rub the spices on all sides of the meat. Heat
some olive oil in a skillet over high or medium-high heat, and braise the
roasts on top and bottom. Put into a deep baking pan and scrape in the
herbs and oil from the skillet.
1 large onion, cut in strips
1 or 2 apples, cored and cut up (I use Granny Smith apples)
1 small to medium lime, quartered
1 rather large jalapeno pepper, sliced and seeded
(OK, I also put in some baby carrots, but you can skip that)
Put vegetables in pan on top of meat. Add water until meat and most
vegetables are covered. Cover and bake at 350 until meat thermometer
reaches the correct temperature for pork.
The combination of flavors from the basil, lime, and jalapeno make the
juice very yummy. I hope you like it!
By Susan B. Posted to the PaleoRecipe Mailing List, March 2001
You can make a paste of the same spices and mix with 1/4 cup each olive oil
and mustard, rub into and on a boneless leg of lamb. Let marinate for a day
or two in the fridge, set out early enough to reach room temperature and
cook on the grill to desired doneness.

Uncured Bacon Tips
------------------
It seems no matter how I fried uncured bacon, I always ended up with
bland, chewy bacon. This is what I do: I lay my uncured bacon on a
cookie sheet and bake it at 325º for 35-45 minutes turning it once at the
half way threw the cooking time. I also sprinkle with one or more
seasonings such as, garlic, oregano, rosemary, turmeric or just plain sea
salt. I even tried nutmeg and cloves, interesting taste on bacon!!!

Butterflied Pork Loin
---------------------
one bunch parsley (I use Italian flat leaf)
4 or so cloves of garlic (this is totally to taste and this dish is from
Provence so garlic is abundant)
several salted anchovy fillets, rinsed
2/3 c. pitted olives (do NOT use those canned things - nicoise would be
nice but if you can't get those, picholine or even kalamata)
several leaves of fresh sage
1/2 c. apple juice
Roughly chop everything and stuff in the loin. Truss. Place in a baking
dish just a bit larger than the roast and pop into a 450 degree oven for 10
minutes. Turn the oven down to 325 and roast for about 1 hour basting with
the drippings for the first 30 minutes. Then switch to the apple juice and
baste every 4 or 5 for the remaining cooking time.

Roast Pork and Taro
-------------------

1 piece fat-trimmed, boned and tied pork butt or shoulder (2to2-1/2 pounds)
1 onion (1/2 lb.), peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 cups fat-skimmed chicken or beef broth
4 cups chopped washed spinach leaves
In a 4 or 5 quart ovenproof pan over high heat, bring 2 quarts water to a
boil. Add taro and cook 5 minutes. Drain and let cool. With a knife, peel
taro and cut away any bruised or decayed spots. Cut taro into 1 inch
chunks. Rinse pan. Rinse pork and set, fatty side up, in pan. Add taro,
onion, ginger, and broth. Cover and bake in a 375F oven until meat is very
tender when pierced, about 2-1/2 hours. Uncover and stir spinach into
juices. Bake until meat is lightly browned, about 30 minutes more. Then
broil about 8 inches from heat until meat is richly browned, about 5
minutes longer. Cut strings from pork, slice meat (it tends to tear apart),
and serve with taro mixture and juices. Season to taste.
