For the Grill

Take a 1 1/2" butterfly cut and marinate it for 45 minutes in the following concoction.

Ginger Soy Sauce a goodly amount
Teriyaki Sauce - an equally goodly amount
1 tblspn of meat tenderizer
4 well ground cloves of garlic
Lemon Pepper - 1 tblspn
Honey - maybe 2 tblspn

Blend mixture with a whisk and ad pork chops then ad Apple Juice - enough to make sure the chops are covered.
I like to then take the whole mess and put it in a flat tuperware bowl and shake it to mix it thoroughly over the meat after I ad the apple juice.

Grill preperation.

Nice and hot then put mesquite chips on the edge just close enough to get them smoking good. Put the chops on to sear on one side and ad lemon pepper to the upside and baste with marinade. Continue this turning and basting until done. (that means no red - we are talking pork here people)

Peace

Andouille 1
Recipe: Chef John Folse

Andouille is the Cajun smoked sausage so famous nationally today.True andouille is stuffed into the
beef middle casing which makes the sausage approximately one and a half inches in diameter.When
smoked over pecan wood and sugar cane, it becomes very dark to almost black in color. It is not uncommon
for the Cajuns to smoke andouille for seven to eight hours at approximately 175 degrees.
Traditionally, the andouilles from France were made from the large intestines and stomach of the pig,
seasoned heavily and smoked. In parts of Germany, where some say andouille originated, the sausage was
made with all remaining intestines and casings pulled through a larger casing, seasoned and smoked. It
was served thinly sliced as an hors d?oeuvre.
It is interesting to note that the finest andouille in France comes from the Brittany and Normandy
areas. It is believed that over half of the Acadian exiles who came to Louisiana in 1755 were originally
from these coastal regions.


5 pounds pork butt 1/2 pound pork fat
1/2 cup chopped garlic 1/4 cup cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon dry thyme
4 tablespoons salt
6 feet beef middle casing (see butcher or specialty shop)

Cube pork butt into one and a half inch cubes and grind through a 1/4 cup plate, or hand chop coarsely.
Blend in all remaining ingredients. Stuff meat into casings in one foot links.Tie both ends of the sausage
securely using a heavy gauge twine. Smoke andouille at 175-200ºF for approximately four to five hours
using pecan or hickory wood.The andouille may then be frozen if desired

Recipe Name: SMOKED PULLED PORK IN HOT CHILE SAUCE
Category: GRILL
Serves: 12

SOURCE: Shadows

For the rub:

1 tables light brown sugar
1 tables chili powder
1 tables kosher salt

1 5 pork shoulder roast (Boston butt) bone-in
2 handfu hickory/mesquite chips soaked for at least 30 min.

For the sauce:

1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
3 tables granulated sugar
1 teaspo Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspo kosher salt
1/2 teaspo cayenne
1/4 teaspo freshly ground black pepper
12 hambur buns lightly toasted
Mayonnaise


To make the rub: In a small bowl combine all the rub ingredients. Press the rub mixture all over the pork roast. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

Grill the pork over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is very tender but still juicy (the internal temperature next to, but not touching, the bone should be 180°F to 190°F), 4 to 5 hours, turning every hour or so. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or coals about halfway through cooking. When done, remove the pork from the grill, cover lightly with a piece of aluminum foil, and allow to stand for 30 minutes.

To make the sauce: In a medium saucepan combine the sauce ingredients with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Keep warm.

Pull the pork into shreds with two forks or your fingers. Discard any outer sections that may have burned or any large bits of fat inside. In a large bowl moisten the shredded meat with the sauce (you may not need all of it) and mix well. Serve warm or at room temperature on toasted buns brushed with mayonnaise.

Makes 12 servings

Just got ahold of an awesome stuffed pork recipe from my chef instructor. We used this recipe last saturday in one of our 'I Love To Cook' series that we host at school for those who don't want to be a fulltime chef but would like to learn a few techniques and recipes that can be considered gourmet.

Hope ya'll will enjoy it

Pork Loin with Dried Cranberry and Chestnut Stuffing

Temp: 350 degrees fahrenheit

4 pounds Pork Loin, trimmed and pounded flat
16 ounces Canned or Freshly Roasted and Peeled Chestnuts
8 ounces Dried Cranberries, soaked in cider until plump
16 ounces French Bread, diced and toasted until brown
2 Shallots, peeled and minced
1 Bunch Fresh Sage, slice 1/2 and leave other half whole for garnish
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
6 ounces Smoked Bacon, chopped and rendered
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoons Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Butchers Twine

Method:
In a hot pan. quickly sear both sides of the pork loin until browned then place in cooler until ready to stuff.
In a seperate pan, add the bacon and render on low heat until crisp. Reserve bacon and drain grease.
Meanwhile, toast the bread in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until golden brown (about 10-20 minutes) and reserve.
Next, in a saucepan, add cranberries and enough cider to just cover and simmer over low heat until they plump back up.
Next, add the oil, butter, and shallots to the pan and sweat until shallots are translucent. Add the chestnuts, cranberries, cider, and reduce.
Add bacon, bread cubes, thyme and stir thoroughly, cooking until heated through. Finally, add the sage and season to taste.
Pour stuffing on a sheetpan and allow to cool to room temperature.
To assemble, season both sides of the pork and place flat on a cutting board. Spread stuffing over pork, leaving a 1 inch border. Roll the pork loin tightly and secure with the butchers twine. Roast in oven (350 Fahrenheit) for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through ( insert thermometer in pork near center and if a reading of 170 degrees F, then it is done). Let it rest for 15 minutes at room temp before slicing.

This will make 10-12 servings


Enjoy!!

That sounds awesome. When you say cider, do you mean apple cider? And what do you mean by "render"? That is a term I've heard, but I don't know what it means.

I may actually try this. Sounds like a good Turkey alternative for Thanksgiving.

For the cider. Apple cider is what we used, the 'hard' type...Basically alcoholic version of normal apple cider.
As for rendering. Basically, it means to cook the bacon until as much of the fat as possible is extracted and it becomes nice and crisp.


I actually made this yesterday and as the side, I took three asparagus stalks that have been blanched and wrapped them with bacon and roasted until the bacon was done. As a presentation (for those who really want to make the plates look like art), try grating a sweet potato and quickly frying in hot oil till slightly crisp. It will curl wonderfully and looks really great when piled upon the pork slice. All the colors seem festive.

Posted by: Shadows 26-Sep-2004, 05:21 PM
Sounds great! If you have a hard time finding chestnuts, walnuts would work as would cashews. Hard cider I would use is "Mikes Hard Cider" or Woodchuck Cider".

Posted by: Gordon 26-Sep-2004, 07:52 PM
Almost forgot to warn everyone about the flame when ya use the hard cider. Alcohol will burn off but it also adds some extra flavor.

Good idea there Shadows. I didn't think about using the Mike's since we used fresh because we managed to find a gentleman who makes his own hard cider each year.

Roast Stuffed Loin of Pork with Crackling & Bramley Apple Sauce
- By Darina Allen
Ingredients:

? 1 x 5 lbs (2.3kg) loin of pork with the skin still on

Fresh Herb Stuffing
? 12 ozs (45g/3 tablesp.) butter
? 3 ozs (85g/: cup) chopped onion
? 3-32 ozs (85-100g/12 cups approx.) soft white breadcrumbs
? 2 tablesp. (2 American tablesp. + 2 teasp.) chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, chives, marjoram, savoury, perhaps very little sage or rosemary)
? Salt and freshly ground pepper

Gravy
? 1 pint (600ml/22 cups) home-made chicken stock
? Roux (optional)

Bramley Apple Sauce
? 1 lb (450g) cooking apples, e.g. Bramley Seedling or Grenadier
? 1-2 dessertsp. (2 - 1 American tablesp.) water
? 2 ozs (55g/scant 3 cup) sugar, depending on how tart the apples are



Directions:


For really good crackling score the skin at 3 inch (5mm) intervals running with the grain - let your butcher do this if possible because the skin is quite tough. (This will also make it easier to carve later).
Then make the stuffing: sweat the onions gently in the butter for 5 or 6 minutes. When they are soft, stir in the crumbs and freshly chopped herbs and a little salt and pepper to taste, cool.

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/regulo 5. Put the joint skin side down on the work top sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper, spread the stuffing over the meat, roll up tightly and tie with cotton string, season the rind with salt. Roast on a rack, allowing 25-28 minutes lb (450g). Baste every now and then.

Just before the end of cooking time remove the pork to another roasting tin, replace in the oven and turn up the temperature to very hot 230C/450F/regulo 8, to get crisp crackling. When the joint is cooked the juices should run clear - one doesn't eat pink pork, put the pork onto a hot carving dish and allow to rest in a very cool oven while you make the gravy in the original roasting tin.

To make the gravy, de-grease the roasting pan, add the chicken stock and de-glaze the pan. Bring to the boil. Season and thicken with a little roux, if desired. Freshly chopped herbs may be added to the gravy. Serve with crispy, roast potatoes and Bramley Apple Sauce.

Bramley Apple Sauce

The trick with Apple Sauce is to cook it covered on a low heat with very little water.

Peel, quarter and core the apples. Cut the pieces into two and put in a stainless steel or cast iron saucepan with sugar and water. Cover and put over a low heat. As soon as the apple has broken down, beat into a puree, stir and taste for sweetness. Serve warm.
Note: Apple Sauce freezes perfectly, so make more than you need and freeze in tiny, plastic cartons. It is also a good way to use up windfalls.

A Real British Banger

This delicious pork meal isn't just for breakfast anymore! Of course, that joke really only works on Brits.

For the bangers:


2 1/2 pounds pork shoulder butt or loin
1 1/2 pounds lean beef or veal shoulder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 cup grated onion
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seed
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 pound cold bacon,cut into small pieces
1/4 cup crushed ice
2 to 3 feet of sausage casings (ask your butcher)


For the onion gravy:

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 red onions, peeled, halved and then sliced
2 whole garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
4 sage leaves, chopped
1 cup sweet Marsala
1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
1 pinch sea-salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions:

1. Trim meat of sinew and cut into one inch cubes.

2. Combine meat with seasonings (salt through nutmeg) and mix together well. Cover and place in freezer for 20-30 minutes until very cold, but not quite fully frozen. Preheat oven to 325F.

3. Using a meat grinder or food processor, grind the bacon, then the ice-cold seasoned meat. As you process, add finely crushed ice to help keep the mixture cold when filling the sausage casings. To check seasonings, heat a small saute pan and fry up a small patty of the sausage mixture. Adjust seasonings, as needed, and transfer the mixture into a large pastry bag.

4. Rinse the sausage casing in cold water and tie a knot in one end. Slide the unknotted end of the sausage casing over the tip of the pastry bag then slowly and carefully squeeze the mixture into the casing. Tie the open end closed with a piece of butchers twine. Begin creating links by twisting every 5-6 inches and tying into links with small pieces of kitchen twine. Sausages should be about one inch in diameter.

Transfer bangers to an oiled sheet pan and roast for 45 minutes.

5. Make the gravy while the bangers cook. In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the butter and olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 20 minutes, and then add the garlic and chopped sage. Cook 5 minutes and add the Marsala. Turn up the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes and then reduce heat to low, stir in the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to use.

6. Serve each person two bangers with mounds of homemade mashed potatoes topped with the gravy.

Jolly Good!
