Mississippi Pork Roast

by jughandle
written by jughandle

Mississippi Pork Roast by any other name could be a pepperoncini pot roast or a Mississippi Pot Roast.  I call mine Bob.  Sorry, I digress.

Most of the recipes out there call for roast beef or chuck roast.  Those tend to be pricey cuts of meat compared to pork.  For that reason and the fact that I don’t know of anything better than a good pork shoulder I use a nice size Boston Butt or Picnic.

The recipe couldn’t be easier and if you use pork, you can feed 4-6 hungry people for under $20.

Mississippi Pork Roast

Easy, delicious and inexpensive. What more can you ask for? Tons of flavor. Serve on rice, pasta or in a sandwich. You will love it.

Food For Thought

What you can take away from making this recipe are the following fun facts:

  • Pork is good eats and way cheaper than almost everything else.
  • The addition of vinegar, hot sauces, worcestershire sauce are ways to brighten the taste of a dish and bring out the flavors.  These things are acidic so you can substitute other acids to change the profile of a recipe.  Try using lemon juice, lime juice, rice vinegar, fish sauce, tamari, soy sauce or even wine.
  • Butter and flour, or any oil and flour in roughly equal amounts make a roux or gravy.  Try different oils such as olive, bacon (grease) coconut or peanut for a stronger flavor or grapeseed, vegetable or canola for a milder flavor.  Cook until the raw flour flavor is gone for a blond sauce or longer to darken the roux for a nuttier flavor.

Vietnamese Pho Bo Soup

by jughandle
written by jughandle

aka Beef Noodle Soup

Vietnamese Pho Bo Soup is Beef Noodle Soup with a twist.  This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and is warming on a cold winter night. – jughandle

The Origins of Pho

Pho was born in Northern Vietnam during the mid-1880s. The dish was heavily influenced by both Chinese and French cooking. Rice noodle and spices were imported from China; the French popularized the eating of red meat. In fact, it is believed that “pho” is derived from “pot au feu” a French soup. Vietnamese cooks blended the Chinese, French and native influences to make a dish that is uniquely Vietnamese.

Authentic Pho Bo Soup

This authentic pho isn't quick, but it is delicious. The key is in the broth, which gets simmered for at least 6 hours.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 pounds bones assorted soup bones
  • 2 carrots chopped, medium size
  • 2 stalks celery chopped, medium size
  • 1 onion cut in half with the skin left on
  • 2 cloves garlic skin left on
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp oregano dried, or 2 tsp fresh
  • 1 tsp thyme dried, or 2 tsp fresh
  • 1/2 tsp sage dried
  • 8 cups of water enough water to come to 1-inch below MAX fill line

Instructions

  • Place the bones in the Instant Pot, filling it about half full with bones.
  • Add in the vegetables, herbs, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns and salt.
  • Fill the Instant Pot with water to 1-inch below the MAX fill line.
  • Make sure your sealing ring is in place on the lid. Lock the lid onto the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to the "sealing" position.
  • Press the "manual" button and set your Instant Pot for high pressure for 120 minutes. (I find it easier to decrease the time because the timer resets at 120 after you decrease to zero.)
  • It will take about 15-30 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
  • Once the two hours is up, allow the pressure to release naturally. It will take about 15-30 minutes, then the float valve will drop.
  • Strain the broth through cheesecloth or a strainer and cool.
  • A good broth will usually have a layer of fat on the top, and will gelatinize when thoroughly cool.
  • Remove the fat with a spoon and discard.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES
Your Instant Pot bone broth will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, I like to freeze 1-cup portions for easy use in recipes.
