Recipe - Pork Agrodolce

Oh...this is good...really good! A little sweet-and-sour, a little barbecue sauce-like, an a whole lot of lusciousness. What's really nice is that the sauce isn't overly thick and heavy, like a standard barbecue sauce can be; it flavors the pork, it's nice drizzled over the top of the dish, and then it gets out of the way and lets the pork shine.

And the pork...so tender, and the pieces with some of the fatcap...marvelously crispy, with that nice little bite from the vinegar, and there's a fair amount of kick to this as well, from the red pepper flakes.

MrsT summed it up: "Whatever you do...do not, and I repeat DO NOT lose this recipe!"

Served over ricotta mashed potatoes, as recommended in the original recipe.

Here's the pork shoulder, ready to go:

Thyme for some Grilled Pork and Apricots with Rice. I intended to make this with rosemary instead of thyme, but:

1) I couldn’t find the rosemary, and
2) I would’ve missed out on a perfect opportunity for a pun.

Here's an easy/fun one:

Recipe - Sriracha-Maple Glazed Bacon

Not much to say; it's sweet, it's spicy, it's bacony. It's also addictive!

Make sure you do foil-line your pan, as I just put down parchy and now I’ve got baked-on sugar syrup to deal with.

Spam Wellington. I bought a can of spam, and I wasn’t sure what to make with it until I saw Gordon Ramsay on television. I would hope that Chef Ramsay would judge this based on its technical merits, and not murder me immediately with that pitchfork from Hell’s Kitchen.

I'm having trouble posting the recipe. Every time I try, I get an error saying "Oops! We ran into some problems". I only have 6 images, the limit, so I have no idea what's going on. I tried cutting pictures out, and I get the same error. There must be a Spam filter on this site. If it weren't so annoying, I'd laugh. :cry:

May I suggest you look at the tags that you may have attached. This has happened to me several times and it was because I was trying to use tags that are not part of CB's data base.
edit: never mind I see the recipe .... :rolleyes:

The problem I had was that I started with an existing recipe, and then heavily modified the text. There was something embedded in the text I copied, so I manually retyped it.

Mrs TLNG did not have the same reaction to my Spam Wellington. She only tried the crust, which she liked, but not the spam. But, now she wants me to make her Beef Wellington.
