Neapolitan Red Pepper Pork Food

RED PORK

Steps:

• Mix together the seasoning sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, char siu seasoning, cilantro, garlic, Szechuan peppers and 1 cup water in a metal pot. Submerge and soak pork sirloin in marinade, refrigerated, for 8 to 12 hours.
• Bring pork to a boil right in the pot, then reduce heat to simmer for 40 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Place hard-boiled eggs in hot marinade and let stand until able to handle.
• Remove pork and thinly slice into 1- to 2-ounce pieces.
• Cook yaki soba noodles and bok choy by submerging in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Drain.
• Divide noodles among 4 bowls.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the warm cooked marinade/pork juices over noodles in each bowl.
• Top each serving with 5 to 6 slices cooked pork, 1 hard-boiled egg cut in half, 5 to 6 leaves bok choy, 1/4 cup shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup bean sprouts, 1 tablespoon green onions, 4 to 6 stalks cilantro, 1/4 tablespoon crushed peanuts and 1/4 tablespoon dried fried garlic.

NEAPOLITAN RED PEPPER PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F or preheat a grill over high heat. Rub the peppers with canola oil, put them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. They can also be grilled until blackened all over. Remove the peppers to a bowl and cover the bowl. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then remove the skin and seeds and dice. Do not rinse.
• Put a Dutch oven on the stove top over high heat, coat with some canola oil and add the capicola. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and add them to the pot with 3 tablespoons of oil. Brown well on all sides, then remove them to a plate. Add the onions and saute until they are starting to caramelize, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the capers and caper juice. Mix to combine and allow the mixture to caramelize a bit more. Deglaze with the white wine. Stir in the agave, chicken stock and red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, then add the seared ribs along with the diced peppers.
• Cover and bake for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the pork from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the sauce.
• Guy's tip: you can uncover 3/4 of the way through to allow the sauce to reduce for serving. Another alternative is to remove the Dutch oven from the oven, put the pork onto a serving platter and simmer the sauce over high heat to reduce for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

NEAPOLITAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Brown Pork Chops in Olive Oil and Garlic.
• Remove Chops and saute mushrooms and peppers in the same pan (more oil may be necessary).
• Add remaining ingredients along with Chops and simmer covered for 1 hour.
• Serve over fettucine.

PORTUGUESE PORK WITH RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• With a large mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, coarse salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and peppercorns into a fine paste. Transfer to a large bowl.
• With a mallet, flatten the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick. Place in the bowl with the garlic mixture, tossing to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in the pork and remaining garlic mixture. Quickly brown pork about 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Place red peppers into the skillet, and saute 2 to 5 minutes, until tender but firm. Pour white wine into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Reduce heat to low, return pork to skillet, and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• Slice 1 1/2 lemons into thin rounds. Transfer the pork and pepper mixture to a serving platter. Squeeze juice of remaining 1/2 lemon over the pork and peppers, and garnish with the lemon rounds.
