How to Make Pepperoni - Spicy and Aromatic homemade Pepperoni
Author: 
Recipe type: Sausage / Curing meat
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 7
 
Pepperoni is an all-time favorite. This cured and fermented sausage is absolutely loaded with flavor and aroma.
Ingredients
  • 2kg Pork butt (fat included)
  • 1kg Beef chuck (fat included)
  • 80g Prague powder #2
  • 10ml Sugar
  • 20ml Cayenne pepper
  • 30ml Paprika
  • 15ml Aniseed
  • 5ml Dried garlic granules
  • 300ml Dry red wine
  • 1.25ml Ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C)
Instructions
  1. Measure out the Prague powder, sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, aniseed, garlic granules, red wine and ascorbic acid.
  2. Cut the pork butt into cubes. For those not in North America, the pork butt is the very top end of the shoulder.
  3. Cut the chuck steak into cubes as well.
  4. Don't remove any of the fat from either.
  5. Place all of the meat in a large roasting tin and place this in your freezer for 60 minutes to firm up in preparation for grinding.
  6. Combine all of the spices and use a fork to break down any lumps.
  7. After 60 minutes, the meat will be close to frozen, and nice and firm.
  8. Run the 2 meats through the grinder separately using an 8mm or one third inch grinding plate.
  9. Pour the curing spice blend and the wine over the ground meat and massage this into the meat thoroughly while also mixing the pork and beef together.
  10. Tamp the meat down, cover the pan with cling-wrap and transfer this to your refrigerator for 24 hours.
  11. The following day, load the meat into your sausage stuffer.
  12. Attach a 40mm nozzle to the stuffer and crank the handle until the meat reaches the exit of the funnel.
  13. Slide a mini salami casing onto the funnel. (50mm x 250mm)
  14. Apply firm pressure to the casing with one hand while cranking with the other.
  15. The pressure applied is far more than when loosely stuffing sausages. With cured fermented sausage, you want the filling to be far more compacted, leaving no space for air pockets which could lead to spoiling.
  16. As the filling nears then end of the casing, remove the casing from the funnel and twist off the end.
  17. Place slip knot around the end of the casing and pull it tight while twisting the casing to further compact the filling.
  18. Turn the casing over and secure this with a double knot, turn it again, and tie another double knot.
  19. Trim off the ends and continue with remaining pepperonis.
  20. To ferment and dry the pepperoni, hang them from their loops at a temperature between 10c and 13c with a humidity between 75 and 80 percent for 6 to 12 weeks, depending on how dry and how fermented you want your pepperoni.
  21. NB - the humidity in the drying area has to be high in order to avoid casing - this is when the outside of the pepperoni dries solid while the inside is still soft and mushy. Once the pepperoni has cased it is ruined, and should be thrown away.

Instructions
  1. To make the stuffing, place the fresh chopped herbs, garlic, feta and olive oil in a bowl and mash it to a paste.
  2. Have your butcher cut the pork chops 30mm thick, or 1 and a quarter inch.
  3. Use a sharp paring knife to cut the rind away from the chop.
  4. Run the knife between the rib bone and the meat and remove the bone.
  5. Stand the pork on the fatty edge and slice down the center along the length to butterfly the meat.
  6. Stop slicing when you reach the fatty strip.
  7. Flap the butterflied meat open and stuff a quarter of the filling into the chop.
  8. Continue until all of the chops are processed.
  9. Place the rinds on a platter and salt both sides of the rinds liberally with salt.
  10. Place the stuffed chops on a platter and brush both them with melted butter, followed by a liberal grinding of salt and pepper.
  11. Turn them over and repeat this process.
  12. Heat a ribbed skillet on your barbecue over high heat. In this case I have the skillet over 2 burners, running on full flame.
  13. Place the salted rinds on the skillet and close the lid.
  14. Allow these to grill for 6 minutes with the rind side facing down.
  15. Open the grill, flip the rinds over and add the pork chops to the skillet.
  16. Close the barbecue and allow these to grill for a further 5 minutes.
  17. Open the grill and turn the pork chops.
  18. Close the barbecue again and allow this to grill for a further 5 minutes.
  19. After this time, remove the chops from the grill and move the pork rind to the hottest part of the skillet skin side down.
  20. Press them down onto the skillet until they are well blistered and crisp.
  21. Serve your amazing creation immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.

Ingredients
For 4 Kebabs
  • 8 Rashers streaky bacon

  4. Place s strip of bacon across the opening of a peppadew and wrap it around the peppadew to enclose the feta cheese. Continue until all of the bundles are formed.
  5. To make up the kebabs, drill the skewers through the peppadew bundles using a twisting motion. If you try to push them through, you will end up squeezing the cheese out.
  6. Once you have four bundles on the skewer, straighten the bundles out to align the edges.

Sugar Chilli Pork Roast - The MOST Tender Roast Ever!!! Perfect for the 4th of July!!!

Serves: 6-8
 
Just a few weeks ago I featured delicious sugar chilli pork neck steaks. A few viewers asked whether it is possible to make whole sugar chilli pork neck roast. So I put this my list of things to try and it turned out magnificently, except for the fact that it turned out so juicy and so tender that it was quite difficult to slice cleanly.... and I quite honestly don't see that as a problem. Alternatively, shred the pork and serve as deliciously tender and sumptuous pulled pork.
Ingredients
  • 1.5kg / 3.5lb Whole deboned pork neck
  • 80g Demerara sugar (or treacle sugar)
  • 20ml Coarse cracked black pepper
  • 20ml Dried chilli flakes
  • 20ml Himalayan rock salt (fine)
Instructions
  1. To start you need a whole deboned pork neck, around 1.5kg or 3.5 pounds.
  2. In a bowl, combine the demerara sugar, coarse cracked black pepper, dried chilli flakes and Himalayan rock salt. I prefer this salt as it contains no iodine, and imparts a slight acidity to the food resulting in a much rounder flavor.
  3. Start sprinkling this mixture over the pork and pressing it firmly into surface of the meat. Continue until the slab of meat is coated well and all of the sugar chilli rub is used.
  4. Place the pork in a roasting tin and scrape any over overrun rub over the top of the pork.
  5. I am adding boiled potato wedges to the pan as well.
  6. Roast the pork in a preheated oven at 250c or 480f for 60 minutes undisturbed.
  7. On removing the pork from the oven, the first thing you will notice is the amazing charred crust that has formed on the pork.... not to mention the insanely incredible aroma.
  8. By this stage the potatoes will also be well roasted and will have absorbed some of the amazing pan flavors.
  9. Serve this immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
  10. I will be publishing a video shortly where I will show you the trick to these amazing roast potatoes.
  11. Stay tuned for our next episode where we're looking a very simple way to distil alcohol at home with basic kitchen equipment, and I mean basic.

Crispy Peppered Pork Schnitzel - Quick & Easy Pork Schnitzel Recipe!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Pork
Cuisine: German
 
Schnitzel, meaning thinly sliced, can be made with veal, beef, chicken or pork. This spicy peppered pork schnitzel is absolutely outstanding and well worth a try.
Ingredients
  • 2 x 200g Pork neck steaks
For the Coating
  • 250ml All-purpose flour
  • 15ml Ground white pepper
  • 15ml Cayenne pepper
  • 15ml Caster sugar
  • 15ml Garlic powder
  • 10ml Fine salt
  • 2 Eggs lightly beaten
Instructions
  1. Start with 2 pork neck steaks cut about a half inch thick.
  2. Unroll a length of cling-wrap on your work surface and place one of the pork steaks in the center of the plastic. Fold the cling-wrap over to enclose the steak and use your meat mallet to tap this down to half its original thickness.
  3. Repeat this with the remaining steak.
  4. In a bowl, combine the all purpose flour, ground white pepper, cayenne pepper, caster sugar, salt and garlic powder.
  5. Whisk 2 eggs and place these in another dish.
  6. Before coating the schnitzels, sprinkle a little of the seasoned flour over a large platter. This is where the coated pork will sett and the flour prevents the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  7. Dredge one of the schnitzels in the flour mixture to coat all over.
  8. Transfer this to the egg, making sure to wet all of the flour.
  9. Then back to the seasoned flour making sure to get a good solid coating all over.
  10. Transfer the schnitzel to the platter and continue with the second schnitzel.
  11. Allow these to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  12. Place a large frying pan over medium high heat and add just enough oil to coat the base of the pan.
  13. When the oil is really hot it will start to shimmer. Add the pork to the pan and fry it for 3 minutes.
  14. Turn the pork over and continue to fry for a further 2 minutes.
  15. Remove the pork from the pan and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  16. Serve the schnitzels immediately with apple sauce and the accompaniments of your choice.

This sweet and sticky braised pork is out of this world. Marinated for days, this absolutely tender treat will become legend in your household.
Ingredients
  • 1kg Pork Shoulder, deboned, cut into 8mm slices
  • 180g Brown sugar
  • 3 Drops red food coloring (optional)
  • 125ml Ginger beer (or pineapple juice)
  • 60ml Light soy sauce
  • 2.5ml Garlic powder
  • 2 x 240ml Water
Instructions
  1. Pour the ginger beer, light soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic powder into a large food-safe container.
  2. Traditionally this recipe would use pineapple juice instead of ginger beer, but I just find the ginger beer gives it that extra something that makes it really special.
  3. In addition, if you want the traditional red color, you can achieve by adding 3 drops of food coloring. As this doesn't have any bearing on the taste, I leave it out.
  4. Stir the mixture until all of the sugar has dissolved. Place the pork shoulder in the marinade, transfer to your refrigerator and allow this to cure for 2 to 3 days, turning the meat each day.
  5. After the marinating, you will need to cook the pork in 2 batches. For each batch you will need 240ml of water. Place this in a large wok or pan, add half of the pork and half of the marinade. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat.
  6. Continue to boil, turning the meat every couple of minutes.
  7. After 10 to 15 minutes the water will have mostly evaporated leaving a thick sticky syrup. Continue turning and wiping the pork in the syrup until it develops a thick glaze.
  8. Remove the pork from the wok and keep it warm while you continue with next batch.
  9. Serve the pork hot with rice or noodles and pickled Asian ginger.

How to Make Perfect Skinless Pork Sausages - Simple Skinless Sausage Trick
Author: 
Recipe type: Sausage Making
 
Today I am going to show you a cool trick to making skinless pork sausages, and the only equipment you'll need is a few plastic bread bags and a school ruler. To mince the meat you'll need a mincer, or simply get the butcher to mince it for you.
Ingredients
  • 1.2kg Pork shoulder, deboned
  • 15g Kosher salt
  • 5ml Ground white pepper
  • 1.25ml Ground cloves
  • 7.5ml Ground coriander seed
  • 1.25ml Ground nutmeg
  • 75ml White wine vinegar
Instructions
  1. Cut the pork shoulder into strips narrow enough to fit through the feeder tube of your mincer.
  2. Place these on a platter in a single layer and transfer them to your freezer for 45 minutes.
  3. After becoming semi-frozen, run the strips through your mincer using the coarse 8mm plate.
  4. Combine the salt, ground white pepper, ground cloves, ground coriander seed and ground nutmeg.
  5. Place the pork in a mixing bowl and massage the spices into the meat.
  6. Pour in the white wine vinegar and mix this in thoroughly. Transfer this to your freezer and re-chill the meat for another 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, run the meat through the mincer again using a fine 3mm plate.
  8. Divide the meat into 100g portions.
  9. Working with 1 portion at a time, place a portion in the center of a bread bag. Fold the bag over to enclose the pork.
  10. Hold the ruler parallel to the edge of the bag and at an angle of 45 degrees to the wok surface and compress the pork into shape.
  11. Continue until all of the sausages are formed. Transfer these to a platter or roasting in their plastic sleeves and place them in your freezer until totally frozen.
  12. On removing them from the freezer, you'll notice just how beautifully perfect the sausages are.
  13. To cook the sausages add a little butter to a large pan over medium heat and fry them gently until well browned, turning every few minutes.
  14. This trick is very useful if you're making sausage rolls, however if you're cooking the sausages as is, bare in mind that the longer they cook, the drier and granier they will become. This is the result of having no skin to contain the fat.

How to Cure and Dry Age Pancetta - Perfect Charcuterie - Making Pancetta at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Pork / Curing
Cuisine: Italian
 
Pancetta, or Italian bacon is awesome, with a strong flavor and outstanding aroma. Traditionally eaten uncooked, it can be thinly sliced and lightly fried, or cut into cubes and used to flavor soups, pastas and stews.
Ingredients
  • 2.25kg Pork Belly, bone in, skin on
  • 5ml Garlic Powder
  • 28g Prague Powder
  • 10g Demarara Sugar
  • 8g Cracked Black Pepper
  • 4g Crushed Juniper Berries
  • 2 Bay Leaves Crushed
  • 2ml Ground Nutmeg
  • 2ml Dried Thyme
  • 20g Coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Lie the belly bone-side up on the work surface. Use a sharp knife to lift and cut away the sternum from the ribs.
  2. Use the knife to lift and work the thin flap of flesh that covers the ends of the ribs.
  3. Flip the belly over and start slicing the ribs away from the belly, using the bones as a guide for the blade. Once it is mostly freed, flip the belly over and cut through the remaining tissue to free the ribs. Wrap these up and keep them for your next barbecue.
  4. Now we want to remove the skin, leaving as much fat behind as possible. Start on a long edge. Work the blade in between the skin and the fatty layer and start peeling the skin back.
  5. Continue until the skin comes free from the belly.
  6. You can save this to make the most amazing pork crackling.
  7. I'm going to make 2 Pancetta, one flat, and one rolled, so I'm cutting the belly in half. I'm left with just over a kilogram of belly, giving me 2 pieces just over 500g each.
  8. For the cure, measure out the Prague powder, Demerara sugar, garlic powder, ground nutmeg, black peppercorns, juniper berries, thyme and bay leaves.
  9. Place the pepper, juniper berries, thyme and bay leaves in your spice grinder and zap these until fine.
  10. Combine these with all of the other curing ingredients.
  11. Sprinkle the curing blend all over the pork belly and press it into the surface of the meat. Transfer the two pieces to vacuum bags and vacpac them good and tight. Date stamp the packets and get them into your refrigerator to cure for a full 7 days.
  12. After the curing time, the belly will be nice and firm and will have taken on the familiar rosy pink cured color. Wash the meat thoroughly under cold running water. Once all of the curing blend has been removed, dry the meat thoroughly using clean dish towels.
  13. To prepare the flat Pancetta, rub a generous dose of coarsely ground black pepper into both sides of the meat. Place this on a stainless steel rack.
  14. To prepare the rolled Pancetta, roll the narrow edge up as tightly as possible, continually crunching it tighter with your fingers as you go.
  15. Tie the roll with butchers twine. Make the ties as firm as possible to ensure that any air trapped in the roll is forced out. 5 or 6 ties will do the trick.
  16. Trim of the ends and transfer this to another stainless rack.
  17. Allow both lots of meat to air-dry at between 13c and 18c, or 55f and 65f, with a humidity between 60 and 70 percent.
  18. The flat Pancetta needs to dry for 5 to 7 days, while the rolled Pancetta will require 14 to 21 days.
  19. After 7 days here is the flat Pancetta. Trim off the edge and dice the off-cut to be used in soups, pastas and stews. The balance I am going to shave thinly on my meat slicer. Whatever you don't slice, vacuum pack and refrigerate until required.

How to Make Irish Pork Bangers from Scratch at Home - St Patrick's Day Special!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Sausage
Cuisine: Irish
 
With St Patrick's Day on the 17th, here is the perfect recipe to celebrate with. Irish pork bangers are similar in texture to English bangers, but they have a flavor and aroma all their own.
Ingredients
  • 1.8kg Pork shoulder, deboned, skin off
  • 1 Egg white
  • 125ml Guinness draught beer
  • 70g Dry bread crumbs
  • 40g Fine non-iodated salt
  • 15ml Ground black pepper
  • 10ml Dried marjoram
  • 5ml Ground Nutmeg
  • 2.5ml Dried Thyme
  • 2.5ml Dried Rosemary
  • 100-125ml Iced water
Instructions
  1. Cut the pork shoulder into long strips, narrow enough to fit through the meat grinder's feeder tube.
  2. Transfer the strips to a large tray or platter in a single layer and place this in you freezer for 45 minutes.
  3. While the meat chills, beat the egg white with your stick blender until all of the albumen has broken down and the white is frothy.
  4. Pour in the Guinness draught beer, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, dried marjoram, ground nutmeg, dried thyme and dried rosemary. Process this to a paste.
  5. Remove the pork from the freezer and grind this through your 8mm or one third inch plate.
  6. Add the paste to the meat and massage this into the ground pork. The mixture will be pretty stiff and will need about 100ml of iced water to loosen it up. Massage this in, then return the pork to the freezer for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, run the meat through the grinder once more, this time using a fine 3mm plate.
  8. Load the ground meat into the hopper of your sausage filler. Attach the funnel and feed the casing onto the funnel. I am using collagen casings as they are just so much easier and cleaner to work with.
  9. Twist the end of the casing and start filling the sausages. Take care not to fill them too tightly as this will cause them to split when cooking.
  10. It is easier to twist off the links as you go, twisting in the opposite direction for each link.
  11. Once all the links are formed, snip them apart with a sharp scissors and refrigerate the sausages overnight for the flavors to develop.
To Cook the Sausages
  1. Pour enough water into a frying pan to barely cover the base of the pan.
  2. Place the pan over medium-high heat and add the sausages. Simmer the sausages for 3 minutes per side.
  3. After simmering, most of the water will have evaporated, and the sausages will have started to release some of their fat. Add 30g butter to the pan and fry the sausages for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well browned and caramelized.
  4. Remove the sausages from the pan and serve immediately.
