As far as meat goes I consider the good old fashioned pig to be the king of beasts and would rather order or cook a great pork dish over any other meat!
I have heard many say that brined pork chops remain juicier and are less prone to drying out than their none brined counterparts, I think that is utter poppycock, however that is not to say I don’t love a nice brined piece of meat every now and then.
My Chinese pork belly recipe takes my food influences to somewhere else new on my blog today, to be honest I have no idea if this is authentic but the sweet flavours combined with five spice and Szechuan pepper are close enough for me.
I have been making sausages pretty much ever since we moved to Hungary, as I mentioned in my Pork Pie recipe there are just some flavours from home that an expat can’t live without and the good old British Banger holds the top spot in that fairly short but nevertheless important list.
Who doesn’t like a little messy ‘finger’ food every now and then and given that the current period of time is very busy with planting and looking after our fledgling crops then there was only one place to go… Beautiful fall off the bone Oven Roaster BBQ Ribs with some sexy roasted onion BBQ dipping sauce.
There is one undeniable truth about being an ‘migrant’ and that is ‘there are always foods that you miss’, and this pork pie recipe goes a long way to fill that gap.
