Foodapalooza - the longest food draft of all time - The beef finally arrives in rounds 51 & 52 (2 Viewers)

Pardon. I was using the OP as my beacon. I have a pork chop recipe scrawled on a 3x5 which I can barely read and it does not lend itself well to posting in the thread. 

Scratch my first pick and I will sit back and watch and learn how this is done.

Cut of meat would be nice to have but you should at least specify the basic cooking method (e.g. grilled, broiled, fried).

Raw pork can lead to trichinosis.

Ha, "cut of meat" is whatever is on sale at Whole Foods (weekly sales tend to drive my meal picks). In the case of pork chops, we'll go with boneless here.

I can't find recipe nor the original youtube.  After brining I apply three different cooking methods: brown in skillet (I forget exactly what goes into the pan with regards butter, oil, shallots, and whatnot), and then finished in oven.  Let rest and then coat with barbecue sauce and flash under the broiler.

Prepare to be disappointed, y'all.

I have the best pork dinner pick if anyone wants one.  I mean, I think that's what you guys are picking.

 
We'll try to maintain a draft order for a while so everybody is familiar with the rules and to promote late entrants. But this format lends itself well to morning and afternoon picks without a set draft order.


I'd still like to be in if possible, but put me on permaskip and I'll make up my picks in the evening.

 
1.03  jamón ibérico de bellota - pork main course

picture

Specifically, I would like this in the back room of El Bohio in Illescas, Spain. I would like an endless supply of the black label grade, a selection of local cheeses, some good crusty bread, and plenty of some good red wine.  I want the slicer dude there feeding my wife and I until we can't take it anymore.   

One leg of this stuff can cost up to $4,500. Watch Anthony Bourdain drool over this stuff (starts around the 30:20 min. mark)

1.04 - Chipotle Carnitas Burrito Bowl (main course-pork)

Personally, I go with white rice, black beans, fajita peppers, roasted corn, lettuce, and both salsa verde and salsa roja, but it's hard to go wrong here.

This is basically what we had for dinner tonight except for the Chipotle part.   I had some leftover rice, 1 1/2 ears of corn and a chunk of Trader Joe's carnitas in the frig.  I fried the rice with onions, bell pepper, cilantro and the corn kernels and crisped up the carnitas. Heated up a can of black beans and made some guacamole.  There was just enough for three of us.

 
It's easy to make if you have a few hours. Pork shoulder in the pressure cooker is a lot quicker and after you crisp it up, it's almost as good.
Yeah, I get that.  I actually made birria last month, so it's not as if it's not within my competence (braises are the ultimate maximum flavor, minimum effort dishes if you have the time).  But it's something that I know I would spend a ton of time on (including stupid stuff like trying to make homemade tortillas) only to have my kids not eat it.
