What I ate today - the food thread

Oh they look so good. Can she share the recipe? Homemade sauce too?

Happy to share.
I use pork shoulder, skin and rind removed. Rub with olive oil and coat with spice rub.
Pop sliced onion, garlic and some water in the bottom of a cast iron pot, then sit the pork on top. I leave it in the fridge for a few hours for the spices to soak in. Then pop in the oven, turn on to 150c then leave for 4-5 hours. Once cooked, shred the meat using two forks. Stir through the onion mixture it's sitting in, then your sauce of choice. I add some fabulous meat sauce we buy in NZ.
The sauce you see on the tacos is just homemade whole egg mayo with some diced chipotle stired through.
Spice mix:
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon packed golden brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 1⁄2 tsp ground coughin
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper

BC thanks for that - do you cover it when it's in the oven and I'm assuming water just to cover the onion in the bottom

Water to cover just the onion at the bottom, and lid on the pot. I use a Le Crueset french oven.

I have had some nice meals there myself (assuming it is the one in RaceCourse Road Singapore) . But spoon & fork - fingers surely!.

 

[LadyC]

Yes it was the one in Racecourse Road. Not skilled enough to eat with my fingers without it ending up everywhere!

Just realised the photo of the best three plates of the night (Balthazar) didn’t stick...

But that is what the wash basin is for after the meal. I certainly need a good scrub down afterwards - usually up to my elbows.

Facebook just reminded me of having to fend for myself whenever GPH is away.

Probably an ideal solution for the busy empty nesters or family. And I’m guessing much less wastage. However, I enjoy my daily jaunt to the market to buy what looks good on the day. Doing a family Roast (Pork Belly) today. I think I have finally found a full proof recipe which gives me perfect crackling each time....... Fingers crossed.
