From: chadsangel (Original Message) | Sent: 9/4/2008 12:21 AM | Harvest Stuffed Pork 5 to 6 Lb. Fresh Pork Shoulder, boned 2 Eggs 4 Cups Coarse Bread Crumbs, 8 slices 1 16 Oz. Can Whole-Kernel Corn, drained 1 Small Onion, chopped 2 tsp. Salt ½ tsp. Pepper ½ tsp. Ground Sage ½ Cup Water 1 15 Oz. Jan Spiced Apple Rings Buy a whole pork shoulder and ask your meatman to bone it for you. (Use bones to make your soup stock.) At home, trim skin and any extra fat from roast. Beat eggs in a medium size bowl; stir in bread crumbs, corn, onion, salt, pepper and sage. Stuff pocket in meat with mixture, packing in well to fill and give meat a rounded shape. Tie with sting at 1 inch intervals. Brown meat, fat side down, in heavy kettle or Dutch oven; remove from heat. If using a meat thermometer, insert in roast so bulb reaches meaty center. Pour water over; cover tightly. Bake in a 325 degree oven 3 ½ hours or just until meat is tender. Remove pork from kettle; strain liquid into a 4 cup measuring cup to save for making Rich Pork Gravy, recipe follows. Return meat to kettle; bake, uncovered, 30 minutes longer or until richly browned. Thermometer should register 185 degrees. Remove pork to heated platter; pour off any additional fat; keep pork hot while making gravy. Garnish pork platter with spiced apple rings; slice pork and serve with gravy to spoon over. Makes enough for 2 meals, six servings each. | |

Sauerkraut with Pork
2 lb. sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 to 2 lb. thick cut streaky or back bacon and/or assorted salted cuts of
pork
4 or 5 bratwurst*
3-4 medium sized potatoes peeled and quartered
1 onion sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup white wine (preferably Riesling)
3/4 cup chicken stock or broth
Small handful of fresh thyme tips OR 1-1/2 tsp. dried thyme
3 small bay leaves
1 or 2 whole cloves, optional
8 juniper 8 juniper berries, optional
Ground black pepper, to taste
Generously grease a casserole dish with lard, goose fat, or plain old
vegetable oil and lay half of
the sauerkraut in the bottom. In the next layer add the onion, potatoes and
the pork (do not add
the sausages yet).
Season with black pepper and herbs, add cloves and juniper berries if liked.
Be careful, little or
no additional salt should be required when you take into account the salted
pork, chicken stock
and the sometimes salty sauerkraut.
Place the remaining sauerkraut on top and moisten with the wine and stock.
Cover and cook in
a low oven, 325º F., for 3 hours.
Place the sausages on top and continue to cook uncovered for another 45-60
minutes or until the
sausages have browned and are cooked through. Make sure that the liquid in
the dish does not
cook off. You want about an inch of liquid left at the end so add a splash of
wine if it starts to dry out.
*Cervelas, Frankfurt, Strasbourg, or Montbéliard sausages could also be used
but may be harder to find.

Kofte
1 pound ground pork 1 large yellow onion, coarsely grated 2 medium potatoes, peeled and finely grated 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3 ounces hallourni cheese or packaged mozzarella, grated (3/4 cups) 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/3 cup brandy 1 small bunch parsley, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup) 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon salt 4 to 6 cups vegetable oil for fiying.
Using your hands, gently combine the pork and onion. Add additional ingredients, mixing completely and gently. The idea is to preserve the texture of the meat. When the mixture is fully combined, it will be slightly gooey. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pour enough oil into a medium-size heavy pot so it is at least 2 inches deep. Heat to 350 degrees or the point when the oil begins to shimmer, about 7 minutes.
While the oil is heating, shape the mixture, a tablespoonful at a time into oval shapes.
Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, slip the kofte into the oil. Fry, turning constantly until golden on all sides, about 2 minutes. Be sure to adjust the flame to keep the oil at a constant temperature and do not let it smoke. Remove the kofte with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
Yield: Fifteen servings. | |
