Pork Margarita Recipes

Steps:

• Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt. Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a slice of lime.

Steps:

• Use a food processor to grind store-bought unflavored pork cracklings and dried chiles de arbol to taste until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
• In a shaker filled with ice, shake the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and tangerine juice. Rub the edge of a chilled cocktail glass with a lime, then dip the glass into the pork cracklings. Strain the liquids into the glass and garnish with the chili pepper if desired.

Steps:

• For the onion marmellata, place a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the onions. Stir to combine and cook until starting to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to scrape up any brown bits. The onions should be a soft, jam-like consistency and a deep mahogany color.
• Meanwhile, for the pork chops, combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Using your fingers, work all the ingredients together until well combined. Rub the herb mixture over the pork chops. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator.
• About 20 minutes before the onions are finished, remove the pork chops from the refrigerator. Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Grill the pork chops to medium, about 7 minutes a side depending on thickness. To serve, spoon the onion marmellata over the pork chops. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Score skin and fat all over pork, taking care not to cut down to the meat. 2. In a food processor or mortar and pestle, combine fennel fronds, rosemary, sage, garlic, lemon zest, salt, fennel seed, chile flakes and black pepper. Pour in oil. Pulse or mash until it forms a paste. Rub all over pork. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and preferably overnight. 3. Remove pork from refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 35 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and cook an additional 3 to 4 hours, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 180 degrees, which will give you sliceable, tender meat. 4. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 15 to 30 minutes before serving. To serve, slice off the bone and make sure everyone has some of the cracklings.
