” Smoked Pig’s Tail, Bow Ties & Vegetable Stew “

Aug23

.
.
In my opinion, pig‘s tails are the second best part of the whole pig,
right after the cheek’s. I prefere them brined and simmered, served
with a good mustard and sour dough bread. However, I found those
smoked ones at my neighbor hood store and what better way to enjoy
them then in a good stew :-)

Smoked pig’s tail’s,
Bow tie pasta, cooked, al dente

” Spicy Yee Mee Soup, Pork & Vegetables “

Jun30

.
.
Yesterday I simmered some pork belly and used half of it to make ” Pork Belly Tacos “
I saved the other half of the belly and the stock for today’s Dinner.
The result was just as delicious as I expected. In must fine dining in Europe and
the United States we usually don’t use pork stock. In Asia on the other hand, it is a
common soup base and widely appreciated for its richness and debt.

” Pork Belly Tacos “

Jun29

.
.
Híjole ! Que sabroso ! :-)

This is one of my versions of pork belly tacos. I like the texture and taste better
than the usual carnita preparation. Simmer the belly slowly in salted water until
tender, then saute in olive oil with garlic and onion.
When golden brown, remove from heat and add sour orange juice. I also used
sour orangejuice together with olive oil and salt and pepper for the salad dressing.

Bon Appetit ! Life is Good !
