Recreational Recipes is a series of posts I’ve decided to do on items I create, ideas I have for food, and various other concoctions that come to mind. This is the first of this series. Enjoy.
The Oink—
Originally, I had come to The Oink as an idea for trying a new cut, pork cheek, which I have not had the chance to enjoy. However, its evolution happened thanks to some help from my girlfriend, Sarah, who pointed out her aversion to cheek or other face parts of animals. I decided, then, on pork belly and pushed on with my recipe construction. I plan to make this on my next day off as long as I can get the ingredients I need and want. Obviously, the bread will be the freshest I can get, probably from our local bakehouse, called Scholar’s Inn’s Bakehouse, and the meat will most likely be bought from a newish butcher shop, Butcher Block.
Here is the recipe idea as it sits:
Marinated pork belly, cooked and sliced thin with a sweet mustard and spicy cucumbers for added crunch, all on a sourdough roll. On the side, vinegar slaw offers that little bit of bitter while balancing out the savory/sweet aspects the sandwich plays with. Its sounds ridiculously good to me, so I hope I get a chance to make it.
There are other ideas in the works that I’ll post up sometime soon, but for now I leave you with only this– may your food be tasty and your lines taut.
