Pork Belly
Ingredients:
2 lb pork belly
1/4 cup salt salt & pepper
for the marinade:
1/4 cup Agave Nectar
1/4 cup Apple Jam
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Preparation:
1. Using a paper towel, pat skin of pork belly until it is completely dry. Lightly score the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern. Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl and rub marinated over pork belly. Place pork belly into the baking container. Place in fridge for several hours or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350F. Completely line a roasting pan with foil (this will make clean-up much easier). Place wire rack on top of roasting pan to hold the pork belly. Place the pork belly on the wire rack. Make sure the pork belly is level (if one part is lower/shorter the skin will not cook evenly. if you have to, use something oven-safe to prop up a shorter part to keep it completely level). Spread 1 cup of salt evenly across the pork belly skin. Place into top half of oven. Bake for about 40 minutes until meat looks cooked.
3. Once oven has reached desired temperature, remove from oven. Let pork belly cool a few minutes before cutting and serving.
Cauliflower Puree
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (don't worry about keeping florets intact)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup of equal parts cheddar, parmesan, and cojita cheese
Preparation
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth & heavy cream and salt to a boil. Add the
cauliflower; bring back to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and steam for 20
minutes, or until cauliflower is very tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the
cauliflower to a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of chicken broth/cream
mixture at a time from the pot, along with the butter until you have reached the
desired constancy. Process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt
and freshly ground pepper. Add cheese and process until just combined.
