Braised Pork with Homemade Sweet Pickles
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
**RECIPE, SERVES 6-8**
For the pickles:
1-2 pounds of vegetables (I recommend some kind of cabbage, some kind of onion, and a carrot or two, OR just buy pre-cut slaw mix)
A cup and a half (a whole 12-ounce bottle) of rice wine vinegar
Half a cup of sugar (or less if you don’t like your pickles so sweet)
Pinch of salt
For the pork:
A 5-pound (or larger) piece of pork shoulder
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1-2 tablespoons ground cumin
1-2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried chili flakes (optional, if you want it spicy)
Water
Salt
Pepper
1 bunch of cilantro leaves for garnish
Directions:
Thinly slice your vegetables of choice. Pour the vinegar and sugar into a large stainless steel or glass bowl - not aluminum. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Don’t worry if the sugar doesn’t dissolve.
Add in the vegetables and toss thoroughly in the pickling liquid. Cover the bowl and leave in the refrigerator. Stir the pickles once a day. They’ll be good after a day, but great after 4 or 5 days. Again, don't do this in aluminum - it would react with the acid and leach into your pickles.
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Salt the pork liberally and brown it on all sides in an oven-safe pot that is, ideally, not much bigger than the meat. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, chili flakes (if using), pepper, and enough water to come halfway up the meat.
Cover the pot and put it in oven. Braise 3-3.5 hours, checking every hour to flip the meat and to replenish the water if it’s evaporated. Cook until the meat pulls off the bone easily.
Remove the meat to a plate to cool. If you want to, remove and discard the rendered fat from the braising liquid with a gravy separator or by skimming. Boil the remaining liquid until it reduces to a thick glaze. Pull the meat off the bone in chunks and add to the glaze, leaving behind any unwanted bits of fat or gristle. Shred the meat with two forks and toss it around in the glaze. Taste for seasoning, and add salt if needed. It should be a bit too salty, so it will balance with the pickles.
(You could make the pork days in advance when you make your pickles and just reheat it before you eat.)
Lay a pile of pork on a plate and lay a large pile of pickles on top. Garnish with cilantro leaves and some of the pickle juice. Eat it with rice, if you’re into that.
MY COOKING PHILOSOPHY:
I don't like weighing or measuring things if I don't have to, and I don't like to be constantly checking a recipe as I cook. I don't care that volume is a bad way of measuring things - it's usually easier. I like for a recipe to get me in the ballpark, and then I like to eyeball and improvise the rest. If you're like me, my goal with these videos is to give you a sense of how the food should look and feel as you're cooking it, rather than give you a refined formula to reproduce.

Looking good. Instead of pork I used toast and instead of pickles I used some tinned raviolis but it still turned out great.

Honestly, I appreciate that you live in the clips like when you struggle to flip the pork and when you pour the braising liquid everywhere. It comes across as more genuine, and makes me feel better when my kitchen looks like a war zone after cooking.

Soooo excited for this. The pickles are the best pickles I've ever had tbh, the pork came out beautifully so tender and moist, now just reducing the liquid. People keep coming in to smell it lol.
This reminds me of a Chinese dish that's pretty similar. It's called 梅菜猪肉 and it's basically the same but it uses preserved vegetables and instead of sweet pickled cabbages and different seasoning. Pretty cool to see a different recipe with a similar concept. 👍

I always just peel off the first layer of the onion as well. Aside from saving time, it's also better since most of the times, the first layer kinda fuses with the skin or have patches on it as well.

Same, I find that the first layer is half dry and tends to be burnt and inedible by the time the other onions brown.
I don’t love cooking but do it often for my family and people always seem to like my cooking and I DO enjoy having yummy healthy home-cooked food for me & my family to eat. I really enjoy your videos because you don’t measure (which is how I roll) and you’re no nonsense with time saving tricks (like the onion peeling - which I do, too!). I really enjoy learning from you (and this is coming from someone who typically refuses to watch cooking videos because the instructions are too complex and the end result isn’t enough of a return on my time investment). I also really enjoy your narration - I can see why you’re in the radio industry. Great voice. Thanks for making these! Looking forward to more!! 🙌
You're going to explode. The confidence in your tone, the simplicity of your videos, how easy they are to do at home, and of course, the great cooking!

Loving these videos! This is the type of content I'll show to my friends who are getting into cooking. You are to the point, what are we doing and why are we doing it. Keep it up. Tip for the outer onion layer and the skin is throw it in a plastic bag, put it in the freezer and use it to make vegetable stock! Same goes for carrot cuttings.
Your recipes are excellent and simple. For once, I might actually try to make them. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is actually my favorite recipe yet
I made this and it was absolutely delicious. thank you!
I cut onions in half as you did, but then cut the stem end off, then peel each half. The root holds it together for slicing. I like the red theme, looks are everything.
I still live in my mom and dads house I am that young and I don’t cook ,but man do I love this videos!
I love your videos they make me happy

I love your style of balancing quality with convenience. It's so helpful for ordinary folk who just want good food without having to perform a ritual. Thank you so much for these videos! Oh, and 'aluminium' has an 'i' after the n ;)
I love these pickles vegetables and always have them on hand. Thanks Adam! I usually add some sliced jalapenos or serranos to the mix.
Dude i love your videos!!!. i did your bolognese sauce the other day and now im hooked on your recipes
Currently reducing my braising liquid for this. This will be the third recipe of yours that I've tried, and the other two were fantastic. I love that you make things stupid simple with as few dishes as possible. We did the pot roast with mashed potatoes, the whole turkey (which was a smash hit and was totally cooked in our oven in 3 hours), and now this. If you're ever in north Georgia, come on by and cook me something! 😂 Edit: HOLY CRAP IT'S SO GOOD
