Pub Pork Recipes

PULLED PORK PUB SUBS

Steps:

• Place the meat into a slow cooker with enough water just to cover the top. Cook on med/low for 6 hours (or high for 4 hours). (You can also cook it on a low oven temp., the same way, if you prefer.)
• Shred the meat gently with a fork and fill up your rolls.
• Top them with cheese and some oregano (or any spices you like). Bake them on a sheet pan with a sprinkling of spices, at 350 degrees just until the cheese is melted and the subs are warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve them up nice and warm.

PUB-STYLE PORK SCRATCHINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180ºC/gas 4.
• Place the pork rind skin-side down and, using a sharp knife, make lots of light scores in the fat, or ask your butcher to do this for you.
• Grind the fennel seeds with 1 tablespoon of sea salt in a pestle and mortar and sprinkle onto the pork, rubbing into the slashes with your fingers.
• Using scissors, cut the pork rind into chunks and place on a roasting tray, and place in the oven. As the pork scratchings roast, they'll release lots of fat - spoon this out every so often and set aside for roasting potatoes.
• After 20 minutes, turn down the oven to 160ºC/gas 3 and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the scratchings become hard and crispy.
• Line a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper, and spoon the scratchings out to drain.
• Serve warm or cold with a pint of bitter.

PUB CHOPS

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain skillet, reserving about 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
• Season pork chops with kosher salt and black pepper; cook in reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Pour white wine over the chops, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the skillet, and cook 2 minutes more.
• Chop the bacon and add to the skillet along with the onion slices and garlic; replace cover and simmer until chops are no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into sauce remaining in skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens. Pour sauce over pork chops to serve.

BREW PUB PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients until sugar is dissolved; pour over chops in shallow dish. Turn chops over to evenly coat both sides of each chop. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chops from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chops 5 to 6 min. on each side or until done (160ºF), brushing occasionally with mayo mixture.
