Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Does anyone have ideas on what I can do with this cut of meat other than just bake it plain? It was on sale last night so I bought 2 pkgs of it. I'd like to do something easy with it that tastes good. I come from a vegan background so I don't have a lot of experience with cooking meat. The chicken, turkey, and beef I've been cooking so far have been pretty standard stuff. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I just used these in a STOUP (stew/soup) recipe using my slow cooker. I browned the meat in coconut oil in my iron skillet first, then added them to the slow cooker. I pureed a big can of tomatoes (28 oz. I think)in a food mill (next time I'll take out the seeds first because I I still had to strain the whole mess). Also added one chopped onion and 1 T of minced garlic.....s & p to taste. I let it cook all night on low and in the morning I woke up smelling the wonderful concoction! After eating it for a couple of days plain I added some homemade curry powder and boy did that taste GOOD! > > Does anyone have ideas on what I can do with this cut of meat other than just bake it plain?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 You can put into a slow cooker with a little water and maybe some cumin, salt & pepper. Then you can shred and use in a salad or put some homemade BBQ sauce. Pork alawys goes good with applesauce or pearsauce.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I use these a lot on or off the bone and however you cook them make it long and slow and they will be nice and tender. My favorite way is in a big pot of red gravy (tomato sauce). Just brown both sides first in a pan and then let them cook away in the red gravy for a few hours. Make sure the pan is hot and add some oil before you put them in the pan (they should sizzle as soon as they hit it). Let the gravy come to a boil and then back the heat to low with a lid on the pot. I throw in legal sausage and sometimes make scd braciole, both of these also need to be browned first. Option 2 is to braise them. Brown both sides again. Once browned add some legal stock to almost cover the meat. Season to taste (def salt and pepper. can't go wrong with rosemary on pork) and add some veggies (can't go wrong with carrots, celery, annd onion). Carrots will really bring up the sweetness of the dish. Again, let it come to a boil and then back the heat to low with a lid on the pot. Cook until they are falling off the bone or, in your case, until the meat easily breaks apart, at least an hour. > > Does anyone have ideas on what I can do with this cut of meat other than just bake it plain?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions! I just made about 3 cups of pesto 2 nights ago so I am using all that up first (on chicken, shrimp, salmon!) before I tackle the pork. It is stowed away safely in the freezer for now, but I'll let everyone know how it turns out when I make it next week!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 One more idea is to use two forks and shred it up, add BBQ sauce and cole slaw for shredded pork sandwiches.
