What’d You Do Last Weekend?

Heading to a party where there will be lots of wine, and not sure what to take? How about some simple savory cookies - biscotti and sables made for wine pairing?

Ham Hock with Red Cabbage

Ham Hocks with Red Cabbage

We had a run on pork in our house - with another piggy coming in a few months, we really wanted to get through all of last year's pig in good fashion. Here's another recipe from the Granny pig section of Pork and Sons!


Ham and Collard Ravioli

Making Ravioli

Okay, so I've admitted to being tired of ham & beans - and I'm nearly as tired of ham & greens too. But when Todd suggested this little variation, it inspired enough of the baker in me to want to tinker with homemade pasta. Besides, I'd recently had delectable plin at Serafina, and wanted to try my hand at something similar. We've made plenty of homemade pasta before, but this ravioli was a little more involved than my patience (and stomach) could handle.


Tarbais Beans and Ham

Tarbais Beans and Ham

Are you getting the sense yet that we're nearly done with our 1/2 piggy, Big Red or Dapple? It's true, we're down to one roast (which may become pulled pork sandwiches) and some ham steaks. This block of ham was the rest of what we'd made at the coast a few weeks back, resuscitated in tarbais beans. I picked these up from Kalustyans (NYC), and supposedly they're the real cassoulet beans. In any case, they were gigantic and lovely with ham and a bit of pili pili vinegar (also shown in the picture).


Mod Benedict

Mod Benedict

Okay, I cheated with this dish. I had something very similar to it while in school in Austin at Katz's Deli on 6th. It was called Eggs Laura, and it was my favorite interpretation of the classic eggs Benedict. It was poached eggs on potato pancakes with turkey pastrami - and served with horseradish cream. Nowadays Katz's calls that Eggs Broadway , and I haven't had it in probably 10 years, but I had a hankering for it this weekend. Instead of making the trip, I made the dish with piggy instead of turkey.
