Spangy Shredded Pork Dip Food

PULLED PORK DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f.
• Add pulled pork to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle beater. Beat the pork on medium-high speed to break up the pork into smaller pieces.
• Add softened cream cheese, sour cream, bbq sauce, garlic and shredded cheddar. Beat well to until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as required.
• Transfer the pulled pork dip to a 10" cast iron skillet or 9 x 9" baking dish, and top with the mozzarella cheese and jalapenos.
• Bake at 350f for 25-30 minutes, until the dip is hot and the edges are starting to brown.
• Optional but recommended, broil the dip at 450 degrees for 2-3 minutes, or until the mozzarella has completely melted and bubbling.
• Remove from the oven and serve with tortilla chips, crackers, sliced baguette, pita chips or veggies!

ROAST PORK DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a small knife, make several incisions about 1/2 inch long and 1 inch deep all over the pork. Cut garlic cloves in half lengthwise and insert garlic pieces into each incision. Generously season pork all over with salt, pepper, chopped thyme and rosemary.
• Place celery, carrot, onion and bay leaves in a large roasting pan. Lay pork butt on top, fat side up.
• Roast pork for 30 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 300 degrees. Add chicken stock, wine and tomatoes to roasting pan. Continue to cook pork until internal temperature registers 190 degrees with an instant-read thermometer and meat is fork-tender, another 3 to 4 hours. If pork begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Transfer pork to a platter and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. Using a fine sieve, strain cooking liquid. Skim off as much fat as you can and reserve liquid.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly until a light brown roux is formed, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in 4 cups of the drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and reaches the consistency of sauce, about 10 minutes. Season with thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
• When pork is cool enough to handle, shred with a fork, then add it along with the sauce back to a large pan and reheat. Serve on crusty rolls or baguette, garnished as desired.

SPICY SHREDDED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• To begin, just throw the brown sugar, vinegar, olive oil, salt, dried oregano, cumin, chili powder, garlic and some pepper into a food processor or blender. (I happen to love brown sugar in my cooking, but you can decrease it or omit it if you like.) Cut 1 of the onions into quarters and put it in the food processor with the spices. Blend the ingredients until totally combined and then pour it over the pork shoulder. Now rub it into every nook and cranny of the meat, tucking it under folds and in crevices. Let no stone go unturned.
• Cut the remaining 3 onions into wedges and make a bed of onions in a large Dutch oven. Place the pork on the onions and add a couple of cups of water. Cover tightly and roast until fork-tender, 6 to 7 hours, turning every hour. Crank up the heat to 400 degrees F, remove the lid and roast skin-side up for another 15 to 20 minutes to get the skin crispy. Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before shredding.
• Shred the pork (2 forks work well) and put the meat into a pan or serving dish. Pour the juices and onions over the meat. Serve with lime wedges, sour cream, pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa ... whatever makes your skirt fly up!

TONKATSU (JAPANESE PORK CUTLET)

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients. For Tonkatsu, I highly recommend getting fresh panko (we call it nama panko) from a Japanese grocery store. If you can't get it, follow my instructions to make fresh panko. Make sure to use a Japanese brand of panko from Japan. Western "panko breadcrumbs" are a bit different from authentic Japanese panko.

• Fold in celery and pork, ensuring good coverage while preserving the consistency of the pork.
• Fill a 9 inch pie pan with mixture.
• Top with cheese.
• Bake at 325 for 40 minutes or until cheese browns.

• Cover and cook on high 1 hour.
• Reduce heat to low and cook 4-5 hours or until meat is tender and shreds easily. Discard bay leaves.
• Leave the liquid and onions in the crockpot and remove the pork to a large bowl. Shred the pork with two forks. Add 1 cup reserved liquid to moisten the shredded meat.
• Slice mini French rolls in half. Place shredded pork and onion slices on bottom bread halves and top with the remaining halves.
• Spoon remaining reserved liquid into individual bowls for dipping.

• Dip each pork chop first into flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat chops in crumb mixture and set on a plate.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until hot. Fry chops for 2 minutes, flip, and fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a baking dish and top each chop with 1/4 cup of sauce, then top with cheese.
