Sweet And Spicy Pork Hash Recipes

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!

Lay onions flat in a flameproof roasting pan, then add oil and cook over medium heat until they start to slightly turn brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Place pork atop the onions and pour in beer (do not pour directly on pork). Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and bake overnight or 14 hours. Remove from oven and remove foil. Let rest at room temperature until it can be handled, about 25 minutes. Remove pork from pan and place on a sheet pan. Remove the scored fat cap on top and remove the large pieces of fat in the butt; shred meat with shredding forks or by hand (do not overshred; leave some chunks). Reserve 2 onions from roasting pan for green chili prep.
• Put 1/2 cup reserved liquid from roasting pan back into the pork and mix lightly together.
• For the green chili: Dice 1 cup onions from the pulled pork. In a pasta pot on medium-high heat, cook onions, stirring frequently, until they start to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic starts to brown, then add 1 cup of the roasted Anaheim peppers. Stir in until mixed, then add flour. Cook flour for 1 minute, stirring. Add tomatillos, chicken stock, jalapenos and remaining Anaheims. Bring heat to medium-low. Add cumin, granulated garlic, oregano and salt, then stir in hot sauce and slowly bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 pounds pulled pork, lime juice and cilantro. Let rest for 5 minutes.

30-MINUTE SPICY PORK AND SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Puree the tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce in a food processor until completely smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until brown, about 1 minute more. Dust the meat with the chili powder, and add the tomato puree, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover and gently simmer until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Chop the jalapenos, and whisk together with the yogurt in a small bowl. Shred the cabbage, cut the avocado into chunks and cut the lime into wedges.
• Ladle the stew into large, deep bowls. Top with the yogurt mixture, garnish with the cabbage, avocado, lime and cilantro and serve with the tortillas.

GLAZED SWEET AND SPICY PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Place roast fat side down in a shallow metal pan or iron skillet.
• Rub all surfaces of the roast with canola oil.
• Combine all the dry ingredients together to make a rub. Note: I mortar and pestle the rosemary a little to break it apart and release the flavor. You can use more or less of these dry ingredients to taste or to your perference.
• Apply the above to all surfaces of the roast. Rub them in well and return the roast to the pan fat side down.
• Drizzle maple syrup over top of the roast and let it run down the sides. Try to coat the top and sides evenly. It's okay if the syrup runs down onto the pan surface.
• Bake in a preheated 325F oven. Refer to a cookbook pork roasting chart to determine the exact baking time, depending on the weight of your roast. A 2 1/2 to 3 pound roast should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to be done in a 325F oven.
• After the roast is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes or so while still in the pan. Then use a tablespoon to gather the thick fluid (glaze) from the bottom of the pan and spoon it over the top and sides of the roast.
• Enjoy.
