PORK AND EGGPLANT IN HOT GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel eggplant and slice into pieces approximately 1x2 inches and 1/4 inch thick. If using Asian eggplants, peel and slice into 1/4 slices.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick wok or large skillet. Stir-fry eggplant strips until soft, drain, leaving oil in pan. Set eggplant aside.
• Toss garlic and ginger in the hot oil. As soon as it turns fragrant add the pork and toss until just cooked through.
• Add eggplant back to pan, stir to combine pork and eggplant.
• Add remaining ingredients (except garnishes) and stir. Turn off heat and let mixture sit for a couple of minutes to blend flavors.
• Plate the eggplant and sprinkle with garnishes.

PORK POT ROAST WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Season the roast very generously with salt and pepper, and then dust lightly with the flour.
• Put a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and then add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the roast, and brown deeply on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the roast to a platter. Stir in the vinegar, shallots, celery, carrots, parsnips and garlic, and then set the roast on top of the vegetables. Pour the chicken stock and bourbon around the meat, cover, and roast in the oven for 2 hours.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Spoon the vegetables and pan juices onto a large serving platter. Slice the roast, arrange the meat on top of the vegetables, and serve family style.

DAN'S FALLIN' APART PORK POT ROAST WITH CRACKED PEPPER GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mortar, smash together 1/4 cup of garlic powder, 1/4 cup of onion powder, the crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper until the mixture forms a fine powder. Place the spice mix into a large shallow bowl.
• Inject the pork roast all over with the Creole marinade; blot moisture from the outside of the roast. Rub the spice mix all over the pork roast to thoroughly coat. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook and stir the shallots and elephant garlic until the garlic becomes lightly golden brown. Sear the coated pork roast in the hot butter on all sides until the spice coating is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place the roast into a roasting pan or Dutch oven with the fat side up; scrape up the butter, cooked shallots and garlic, and sprinkle around the roast. Arrange the sweet onions, red potatoes, carrots, and celery pieces around the roast. Mix 1 cup of water with the remaining spice rub, and pour evenly over roast.
• Cover the roasting pan with a lid, and cook in the preheated oven until the meat is very tender, 3 3/4 to 4 hours.
• Remove the roast and set aside on a serving platter; surround the meat with the cooked vegetables. Whisk 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and the brown gravy mix together with 2 cups of water in a bowl, and whisk the mixture into the liquid left in the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy has come to a boil and has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve alongside the roast and vegetables.

PORK SHOULDER POT ROAST WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• For the pork shoulder: One day before cooking, liberally salt the pork shoulder and refrigerate uncovered.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the pancetta and 6 sage leaves over medium heat until the pancetta renders its fat and gets crispy, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sage and pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. Add the pork shoulder to the pancetta fat and brown the pork on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Add the garlic, carrots, rutabaga, turnips and onion and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, miso paste, rosemary sprigs and sage sprigs and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beer and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the pan and add the reserved pancetta and sage. Cover and braise in the oven until fork-tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Allow the pork to rest for 30 minutes in the liquid.
• For the fried parsley: Put 1/2 inch of oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until 350 degrees F. Add the parsley leaves and fry until crispy, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• For the fried onions: Put 1/2 inch of oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Dredge the onions in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Fry in batches until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• For the fried capers: Pat the capers dry with a paper towel. Fill a small saucepan with 1/2 inch of oil. Add the capers to the cold oil and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the capers are fried and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Remove the pork from the liquid and transfer to a cutting board. Slice the pork into 1-inch-thick pieces and transfer to a serving platter.
