Early 2000’s Posole... ish

another freezer dive cook. I had every intention of following a recipe, but things sort of devolved as things got rolling. Started out with the posole recipe from John Currence’s “Big Bad Breakfast”. I farkin love that book. 

Proteins.
An assortment of pork bits from 2013 onwards. I live in constant fear of not having freezer space for our happy hippy hogs, so freezer diving is a sport here. Yes, I could buy another freezer. But that would be too easy. Pork trims from spares over the years, something from Blue Apron when we tried it some time ago, something from one of our hogs, and bony beef ribs that I decided to exclude after the pic. 


Flour, pepper, cumin, salt to dredge the meat bits in. 


Browning the pork bits bits up in some of our happy hog lard. 

Stuff went into the pot. Toasted cumin, onions, garlic, tomatoes, oregano,  etc. Things started going down hill at this point. Added light soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, anchovy paste after the day beers kicked in. 


Its all on the egg now to catch some smoke. Hominy will go in after a bit.

    No idea what you're cookin', but I LOVE the pics! 

    Ok, so I looked it up and now I want some! =) 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    its basically a stew. made with whatever is on hand. Just about every culture has a version. Pretty sure i can make it taste good :)

    It shaping up to be one, methinks. I took  some liberties.

    I need to check on it. Took the kid out to the park, and as it turns out,  he can ride the heck out of his little bike.

    needed some salt and liquid, so added some fish sauce and a lime sparkling water. I figured it couldn't hurt.


    Its off the egg now. A bubbly gif before I pulled it. Had to go to work, but it was luckily done just in time.


     I'll let the flavors get all friendly and maybe try some for breakfast. Licked the pot and it tasted pretty damn good.

    Believe me, I have not forgotten. Especially after getting razzed about the lack of a finished pic with my last ham and bean something cook :)

    Plated pic shot is planned for tomorrow. Took some for lunch yesterday, and it beat the pants of what they had for lunch at work.

    Has anyone ever looked at the history of parole?  It’s pretty interesting. Learned about it during my travels to Mexico. Oh and that’s looks amazing. I wish i was hat creative

    Ok @CTMike and others - plated shot as promised. 

    Cotija cheese, cilantro, with a runny egg for good measure. Loaded with cumin, just the way I like it :)
