COUNTRY STYLE PORK & BARLEY STEW

Steps:

• The previous night, soak the black beans in a bowl of water. This will allow them to expand in preparation for cooking. In the morning, drain and rinse. Set aside.
• Place bacon in a frying pan on Medium/High heat. Cook until crispy. (You might want to cook more than the specified amount because you know you're going to be nibbling.) Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Cut pork into 1-1/2" chunks. Place them in a bag with the flour, and shake to coat. Place them in the frying pan with the hot bacon drippings, and brown. Remove to the paper towels to drain.
• Cut each onion into 8 chunks. Add to the hot drippings and flour residue and stir for about a minute. (You should still be on the Medium/High setting) Add the balsamic vinegar and stir. This will deglaze the pan while you are softening the onions. It should be smelling pretty good in your kitchen right about now!
• Pour this into the crockpot (brown bits and all) and add the pork and the bacon, which you have broken up into several pieces.
• Add in the beans, barley, celery, carrots, broccoli, garlic, broth concentrate and water. Stir.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 7 - 8 hours.
• After 6 or 7 hours, check the beans. They should be firm but not hard. If they are still hard, replace the lid and check again in another hour. When they are cooked -- add in the salt, pepper and pasta. Give it a good stir, then replace the lid, cooking for another hour or until the pasta is done to your likeness.
• Enjoy!
• IMPORTANT: Salt prohibits the beans from cooking properly. Do Not add the salt before the beans are done. Although there is salt in the broth concentrate, it isn't enough to affect the cooking process.

ROASTED GARLIC AND HERB PORK HASH

Steps:

• Place the pork in a bowl and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, yellow onion, thyme, bay leaves and rosemary and toss. Add the beer and oil and toss the mixture again. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours, tossing every 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer pork mixture to an ovenproof casserole dish or roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent the top from browning. The pork is done when you can squeeze a piece between your fingers and it falls apart.
• Strain the meat, reserving the fat. Remove and discard the herb stems; save the garlic and onion. Gently shred the pork, discarding any gristle.
• Mix into the shredded pork the reserved garlic and onion and 3 tablespoons of the reserved pork fat. Then mix in the capers, parsley, rosemary, red onion, scallions, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Chill pork hash in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the butternut squash in a small mixing bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss with olive oil. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until the edges are brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Divide the pork hash into 4 to 6 portions. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter, followed by the hash portions, flattening each into a patty about 2/3 inch thick. Press 2 tablespoons of the roasted squash onto the top of each patty. Brown the patties on one side, approximately 5 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side, another 3 minutes.
• Transfer each patty to a dinner plate. Top with cool, crunchy, chewy and colorful garnishes, such as golden raisins, diced red onion, roasted almonds, crema and chopped parsley. (You can also top the pork hash with a fried egg.) Enjoy!
