NOVEL THINKING

Lots of it!

Not only is the food here sustainable. All because we’ve by and large become so wealthy and so spoiled that we can afford to be picky with what we eat.

And it’s a shame because they’re missing out on some really great, fall-apart tender and flavorful cuts simply because their position on the animal make them somehow unappealing and disgusting. Alcohol, in moderation, is usually a part of the father/son cooking ritual. I know you can’t. Like the absolutely gorgeous and succulent cut that is the cheek muscle! The details are below, enjoy! Can I Eat Pork That Smells Bad if I Cook It Long Enough?

Production has become so fast, so streamlined and so unnatural that we can now breed a host of animals at an alarming rate to satisfy our cravings for a few select cuts. So the best advice is: Don’t look at the happy pictures, look for something that’s actually clearly marked with the magic words organic and/or free range. Careful on the heat: A friendly word of warning here, stolen from John Currence‘s amazing effort Pickles, Pigs and Whiskey: pork cheeks are incredibly delicate pieces of meat, so cook them carefully at a gentle simmer. As such, cooking tougher, less premium cuts of meat must be seen as an investment of time and effort, which probably goes to explain why so many people hate on the lesser cuts of meat.

I love cooking with spirits! Imagine a world without pork, for instance. Don’t mind if I do! It’s a vicious circle that’s not only almost intolerably cruel to the animals, it’s also destroying the breeds, and helping us quite well in destroying our planet and destroying ourselves. We’re trying to feed a growing population, after all, on a planet with limited resources that’s already buckling under the current level of production. Beer-braised pork cheeks with bacon in cream sauce, what’s not to love?

This process obviously produces a lot of pigs very quickly. If we can accept that to cook good slow food, we’ll need a fatty cut of meat and that said meat comes at a certain price, we can probably also accept that flavor is the most important part of the equation, not appearance. Regardless of size, variety and even critter. And I’ve got culinary science on my side to prove it! Smoked Brown Ale from Neuse River Brewery worked very well for Chef Serge, and gave the perfect balance of spices. You could go all man with a decadent side of my ultimate mashed potatoes if you feel like you really need the extra weight and calories. When butter has melted, put pork cheeks into the pan and brown for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Cook them gently and they will maintain their shape, but still be unbelievably moist and tender when you cut into them. And while we’re doing that maybe it’s time we started eating those less favorable, poorly understood, slightly overlooked and quite frowned upon pieces of critter that are otherwise either destroyed or shipped half way around the world. The process of rendering fat and turning collagen into gelatine starts at around 70C and takes time. Taste for seasoning (it probably doesn’t need any more salt!) These sort of ordeals usually start out with neither of us really having the faintest idea about what to cook, then heading out together in search of a main protein. Plain and simple. Carefully place the bag and put it in the fridge to marinate for about four hours, turning once or twice. So plan ahead, create a good playlist, get some reading material or a movie, invite some friends over if you feel like it, pop open a beer or open a bottle of wine, relax, enjoy and let great spirit and wonderful smells fill the house. If you have concerns about contamination from other things in your work area, rinsing the pork before you season and prepare it may give you peace of mind that nothing was left on the outside of the pork that may make you sick.

Well, that’s actually not quite as easy as it sounds these days. Grab your pork cheeks and sprinkle them evenly with salt, pepper and sugar, set aside for five minutes. And there you are, my friends, another 4000+ words on a single subject. Thoughtlessly sip the remainder of the beer while meat marinates. At this point you can add the flour. The only thing missing from this picture is more sauce... ❤️

Take it home, cook it forever, THEN worry about trimming off excessive fat, connective tissue. If you have more cheeks than fit the pan, do this in batches.

My dad really enjoys a good, dark, alcohol heavy beer.

“Why don’t you just make hog hearts in cream sauce?” Came the reply from my half-sister, Mie, who we’d enlisted as our driver for the afternoon.
