Beer And Sugar Cured Pork Food

EASY BEER PULLED PORK (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• 1. Set up your crock pot and bring the pork to room temperature. Trim any excess fat. 2. Thinly slice the onion and spread over the bottom of the crock pot. 3. Mix the salt, brown sugar, garlic salt, pepper, paprika and oregano and rub all over the pork. Sprinkle any extra seasoning over the onions. 4. Place the seasoned pork on top of the onions in the crock pot and add the beer. Take care not to wash away the seasoning from the top of the meat. 5. Close the lid and cook on low for up to 12 hours or high for up to 6-7 hours. Exact cooking time will vary based on the size/weight of your meat and your brand of slow cooker. 6. When pork is really tender and can be easily shredded with a pair of forks it is done. Let the shredded pork sit in the crock pot for a few minutes on warm to soak up the delicious juices. Serve.

BEER AND SUGAR CURED PORK RECIPE

Steps:

• Put the pork chops into a bowl or ziplock bag. Stir together the beer, salt and sugar until fully dissolved. Pour this brine over the pork, then cover and leave overnight in the fridge.
• When you are ready to cook, take the pork out of the brine and pat dry. Rub olive oil into the pork and grind over some black pepper. Cook for a few mins on each side on the barbecue or a griddle pan - exact timing will depend on the thickness of your pork chops.
• To make the salad, mix together the beans, courgettes, lemon juice and olive oil with plenty of seasoning. Serve the gilled pork with the salad and scatter over the micro herbs to serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH BEER SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Combine the paprika, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Season both sides of the pork with this spice mixture.
• Add the oil to the preheated skillet. Add the pork in a single layer in the pan. Cook, without moving, until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip the meat and scoot to the outer edges of the pan. To the open space in the middle, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally.
• Add the sauerkraut and continue cooking until the onions have softened and the sauerkraut turns golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the beer and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to get up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 seconds.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve the pork chops topped with the sauerkraut mixture, any accumulated juices and mustard.

MOLASSES BLACK PEPPER CURE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine salt and sugar. Spread molasses evenly over pork belly, then coat with the pepper. Spread the salt and sugar mixture generously over the entire slab. Place into a re-sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 3 days.
• After three days have passed, remove the pork from the brine, rinse the belly, and pat dry with paper towels. Lay on a rack over a sheet pan and place in front of a fan for 1 hour to form a pellicle. Lay the pork in the protein box of a cold smoker and smoke for 4 to 6 hours. Chill the meat in the freezer for 1 hour to stiffen for easy slicing into strips of bacon. Slice what you need and keep the remainder in a freezer safe bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Place the strips of bacon onto a sheet pan fitted with a rack and place into a cold oven. Turn the oven to 400 degrees and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon. Remove from rack and drain on paper towels. Enjoy.

ROOT BEER PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Day 1: Put the pork cubes in a casserole dish or baking sheet and rub them evenly with the salt and pepper. Cover in plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
• Day 2: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides; transfer to a good-quality, high-walled braising pan and pour in the root beer. Cover the braising pan with parchment paper and then aluminum foil.
• Place the pan in the oven and set a timer for 1 hour. When the timer goes off, lower the heat to 275 degrees F. Cook for another 2 hours. When the timer goes off again, check the pork to make sure it pulls apart easily. Stick a fork in it and twist--if it pulls apart easily, you're good to go!
• Let rest for about 30 minutes. Once cooled, take the pork out of the braising liquid and pull it for sandwiches.

BRINE-CURED PORK

Slightly crush and add the bay leaves, peppercorns, clove, allspice, and chili peppers. Add the garlic and thyme. Add the pork and put a plate on top to keep the meat submerged. Refrigerate for 5 days or more.
• Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Roast pork loin for about 1 hour, grill over a medium fire, or slice into very thin chops and brown them in a cast-iron pan. They will cook very quickly, about 1 minute per side. Finish with a good fistful of chopped parsley and garlic if you wish. A brined shoulder is good boiled or braised, and is delicious to add to cooked beans.
