The Porkiest Italian Pork Dish

Thanks Opera for sponsoring this video! Download Opera for free using opr.as/02-Opera-Browser-Pasta...
Right now, Italians are celebrating Carnevale: the festival that's all about pigging out (literally) before Lent. Pork dishes are the name of the game, but this year I thought it would be fun to do something beyond meatballs.
I asked Eva to show me a different pork dish, something a little bit more adventurous. She sure did, and now I'm wondering if I can even bring myself to eat the crazy plate she has prepared...

    You're a brave man Harper. I skipped large parts of the video, so that it wouldn't put me off my breakfast. 😮 I tried to think happy thoughts, like the ciopinno I had, for the first time, at an actual Italain restaurant in Costa Mesa yesterday. I had the waiter try and help me with some pronunciations I'm having trouble with in Rosettastone. The gli in gli oumini I'm really struggling with.

    Having grown up in the rural south of the U.S., Harper saying he is an adventurous eater, but being afraid to eat pig's ears and pig's feet strikes me as hilarious. Those parts are rather tame compared to the pig intestines (chitterlings) and pig brains that we also ate when I was growing up. As we say in the south, we eat every part of the pig except the squeak. I find it interesting that the seasonings of peppercorns, bay leaves, and cloves used in this recipe are also seasonings we often use in cooking pork in the south. The resulting dish looked delicious to me.

    Pig ears and pig trotters are eaten matter-of-factly in so many cultures. They are best sources of collagen and so healthy for the bones. Also, Stanley Tucci said his mom used to put a pig foot in her pot of homemade Italian tomato sauce for the desired texture/consistency/viscosity.

    Pig trotters and ears are a delicacy over here in France. Boil them for a long time in a broth with onion garlic leek and carrot (at least 3 hours).Then with trotters you can bread them and grill them in the oven, served with French fries and Bearnaise sauce. Ears you fry them in a pan with onion garlic and parsley and drizzle some vinegar over thembefore serving. Delicious! Very sticky due to the high levels of collagene

    Grazie, da un milanese. Felice che vi sia piaciuta e l'avete cucinata bene. Verzini e costolette sono tagli pregiati (e anche piuttosto recenti) del giorno di festa, per questo vengono rosolati a parte, aggiunti e mangiati per primi; mentre la base di quinto quarto e verdure viene rinnovata quotidianamente a quella del giorno prima. Unico appunto: abbiate più fiducia nella quantità di acqua che rilascia il cavolo verza, per questo il brodo non serve. Mettete più cavolo piuttosto. Vedrai infatti che quando la casseoula raffredda diventa gelatina, scaldandola di nuovo aggiungi cavolo e sarà nettamente migliore del giorno prima e di quella scaldata senza, perché oltre al gusto fa da legante e struttura. Un piatto tira l'altro, per questo la casseoula sta sempre su a borbottare. Ci vorrebbe polenta e vino rosso, appena la faccio vi mando una foto

    Don't forget that casseula is best the next day. Also, in southwestern Lombardy, where lives a major Jewish community, casseula is made with goose. Also, the cabbage is supposed to have been frozen. In January at night the temps used to go below zero, softening the verza. If this is not your case, just shove the cabbage in the freezer overnight.

    Reminds me of "hog killin' time" when I was a kid on the farm in Texas. This is when we butcherd our pigs and we would have a few extra hired hands, friends and family to help out. It would also be a long weekend party when we would eat up many of the odd bits and offal "strange meats" as you call it, including those snoots mentioned. We prepared snoots by boiling, oven braising and finally deep frying . They would puff up and get crispy like a chiccarone on the outside while remaining slightly soft, tender and chewy inside....not easy to describe....but an incredible treat. Tails and ears were cooked similarly and every kid wanted one, along with a washed out pig bladder blown up and tied off like a balloon. We had to wait on the blood sausage because we smoked and dried them until they were similar to the texture of a Slim Jim. Our hired hands were usually Mexican folks who would prepare menudo with the stomachs and, since we didn't make our own sausage casings, tripas with the intestines. The older folks were into the jellied "head cheese" which was just too weird for most of us kids but most of us did enjoy the brains scrambled together with some eggs. The payoff for those not bringing their own pigs to the party was fresh sausage that got divided up to take home. Such great memories and poignant because community butchering is all but vanished, even if you still raise your own pigs. It's just easier and more efficient to send them out for slaughter and butchering and receive all the nice packaged cuts to add to the freezer.

    We have a braised dish very similar to this in Louisiana. We use pork neck bones or pork ribs and cabbage nowadays, but traditionally, pig feet, tails, and sometimes ears and skin were used in the dish. Some people even add purple hull peas as well. It’s one of my FAVORITE dishes! Fresh pig skin was not always available since most of it would be fried into cracklings during the lard rendering process and would be put away for snacks or to be added to soups, breads, and other dishes. Casseula has clear similarities to very old Cassoulet (French) recipes. That might be the common denominator to how Louisiana has such a similar dish considering it was former a French colony. It’s amazing to see how similarly various food are prepared by different cultures around the world. 💜

I love pig snout, skin and trotters, We have some dishes like cassoeula in France, we love eating every part of the pig, ears, snouts, feet, tail, skin, tripes, you name it, we have a proverbin French 'tout est bon dans le cochon" (everything is good in pork) each region in France has its ownhot pot, in my région, it's the "soupe au lard" meaning "pork belly soup, webraise pork belly knucklesand trotters in a white beans based vegetable broth with carrots, onions, cabbages,turnip, potatoes, we add all the winter veggies we have and can possibly find in the pot and we let it simmer for hours, the best is when you start making it the first day you cook it for hours, then you let it rest overnight and you put it back on the stove for two more hours, and it's absolutely fantastic, the meats melt in the mouth, it's a gret family dish, and we treat the leftovers like the prupunna, we store it in earthware let it set in the fridge for the day after and we spread in on good bread

    In the American South, we make a type of meat product called "hogs head cheese" (aka "souse"). The process involves cooking and boiling skin, ears, feet, snout, etc. with vinegar, hot peppers, salt, and black pepper. So, a dish like yours seems both familiar and almost tame.

    Cassoeula is so good, I grew up with this, we can find ears and tails here no problem, I use hog ears or feet, or hawks in my Sunday sauce, the skin makes it so silky, the collagen from them takes away the acidity and makes the sauce so smooth. 🙏🏽

    Looks great. Pork trotters are nearly universal because they're so delicious. You're missing out if you don't give pig's feet a go. For those who are bit wary, try Schweinshaxe, which is a roasted pork hock with a crispy-skinned crackling, that is common in Bavaria. The Filipinos do a similar dish called Crispy Pata - the Filipinos have all kinds of pig trotter dishes. One of my favourites is Korean jokbahl, which is braised in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice wine. Jokbahl restaurants also serve steamed / boiled pork belly (bossam) that may accompany the pig feet. Sounds a bit plain, but the key to that is the oyster radish salad, the dipping sauces, and it's wrapped in a cabbage leaf. Out of this world. Then give chicken feet a crack.

    Smoked ham hocks are an essential ingredient in Hoppin' John, eaten in the South on New Years Day for good luck in the New Year. Also delicious on every day of the year!

    A suggestion and a note from a Lombardy guy who love caseoula:You need some polenta with it (instead of bread) ;-) The caseoula season traditionally starts with the first time the field of verza get frosted by night in autumn (it is said that it makes the verza taste better) To give out a date lets say around the end of october / start of november.

    When I was a kid in Italy it was easier to find pig's trotters in supermarkets. Now they're found just in butcher shops. My mother used to boil them in salted water, then seasoned them with parsley and garlic finely chopped, oil and vinegar and let them cool down: I loved them. I've always loved eating carthilages and tendons and skins: when mom made the chicken "alla romana" she always put some chicken feet into it and they were delicious. Though I can't stand brains and heads in general...
