Authentic Italian Pancetta – Thinly Sliced Pork Belly
Pork belly, cured in Italian pancetta style, is a sophisticated addition to numerous best pork dishes. The pork belly is first cured with kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Bay leaves are included for extra aroma. The pork is then put into a covered dish and refrigerated for seven days, turned once a day for even seasoning. After curing, the pork is washed with white wine and dried. Then it gets wrapped up tightly and bound with butcher’s twine. The last step is hanging the pancetta in a dry, cool area below 15°C for three weeks. Once the curing process is complete the pancetta is sliced thinly and can be used in pasta dishes, on charcuterie boards or as a topping for many meals.
Juicy Marinated Pork Rib Eye
A marinated rib eye pork is tender and full of flavour with each bite. Start by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and black pepper to create the marinade. How to cook pork properly starts with seasoning these steaks and then chilling them for approximately 4 hours. When you cook, preheat a grill or pan to medium-high, roughly 180°C. Sear the steaks for three to four minutes per side, creating a golden-brown crust. After cooking, let the steaks rest for five minutes before serving. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping them tender and full of flavour.
Smokey BBQ Pork Spare Ribs
Slow-cooked pork spare ribs, basted with barbecue sauce, turn into a melt-in-your-mouth affair. Start by mixing barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to create a smoked flavour. Baste the ribs with this marinade and refrigerate overnight to absorb the flavours. Preheat the oven to 160°C the following day, and put the ribs on a baking rack. Bake the ribs for two solid hours basting them with marinade every 30 minutes so the meat stays nice and juicy and fragrant at the same time. For the final ten minutes, bring the oven up to 200°C so the sauce caramelizes. Tender ribs with a perfectly sticky glaze are the end result.
Smoked Pork Shanks
Smoked pork shanks are full of flavour and go well with big side dishes. Rub the shanks with olive oil, salt and pepper to bring out the natural flavours. Smoke the shanks at 120°C for 2 hours. After smoking, place the shanks in a pot with garlic, chopped onions, diced carrots and red wine. Cover the pot and cook at 150°C for 2.5 hours or until the meat falls off the bone. This slow cooking method infuses the pork with a smoky flavour and it’s a great addition to any meal.
Pork Loin Chops with Rosemary and Garlic
Pork loin chops offer a quick, convenient dinner that achieves bold flavours with minimal effort. Start by coating the chops with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Heat a pan over medium-high heat to 180°C, sear the chops for 3 minutes each side until a crust forms. After searing, transfer the pan to an oven at 180°C and cook for 5 minutes. Let the chops rest for 3 minutes before serving to retain the juices. This simple meal is perfect for weeknights and special occasions.
Slow Cooked American Style Pulled Pork
American pulled pork is a party staple, slow-cooked to fall-apart tender, juicy meat. The pork is cooked for ten hours to perfect consistency. The pork is shredded and served with rich barbecue sauce. Serve pulled pork on soft sliders for a great party and gathering option. Serving with crispy coleslaw balances the richness of the meat, making it a tasty and easy meal.
