Quick Salt Pork image

After a (relatively) quick salt-and-sugar cure, these bits of porky goodness will keep for months in the freezer, ready to add meaty flavor to all kinds of dishes. This is a great way to use up scraps (especially fatty scraps) from prepping legs, hocks, necks, shoulders or bellies. Recipe by Chichi Wang at Serious Eats. http://bit.ly/auhMhP

Time P14D

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb pork, cut into 2-inch chunks (scraps from belly, shoulder, and elsewhere)
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
herbs (optional, such as thyme and bay leaf)

Steps:

  • Toss pork bits, salt and sugar (and herbs if using) in a large bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag or container and refrigerate 5-7 days. (If pieces are smaller than 2", cure may take less time.) Toss pieces to redistribute the cure and refrigerate another 5-7 days.
  • Rinse meat well and pat dry thoroughly. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks longer, or up to 6 months in freezer.
