👨🍳 Science Genial kitchen Ep 0️⃣1️⃣
Leeks and sage braised pork leg chunk
🐖🥬
Ingredients, then step-by-step recipe! 👇
Porc leg chunk 🐽
Oinions, garlic 🧅
Pepper, cloves, laurel and sage 🍃
Leeks 🥬
White wine 🍷
Animal fat (I used beef tallow) 🛢️
Butter 🧈
Grey salt 🧂
Optional : mustard, heavy cream, maple sirup, apple cider vinegar
FIRST THING you gotta do :
Pet this meat dry.
The worst enemy for crust when searing is wet 💦
Cuz yes you gona sear it 😈
So first put some fat in a cast iron pot.
You want to let it melt, but you want the pot to be screaming hot as well so be patient ⏳
Once your pot is screaming hot, don't be shy, bring that fat baby inside and make sure the whole surface is in contact with that singing cast iron
❌ NO SALT AT THIS POINT
Salt will extract moisture.
Moisture is enemy of crust, remember?
GREAT SUCCESS
Look at that crust! 🤩
Now you can throw the salt on this face. Be generous and especially on the fatty parts 🤤
In the mean time, you're building the nice crust of the other side
Get your oven on also, 220 degree celcius 🌡️
Why the crust?
Maillard reaction. It tastes better cuz it forces the amino acids & sugars caramelizing and beings flavor to the top 🥵
Also, it will create a sort of wall to avoid juices to leak. Juicier meat! 🏰
Now put your pig on the side and throw salt to this side as well

See that brown crust at the bottom of the pot? 👀
Same thing it's gold you want to keep it
Throw onions in the fat and scratch these brown bits with a wooden spoon 👨🍳
Fasten your belt
As soon as your onions change color, throw the leeks inside with a good healthy chunk of better 🧈
Then put half of the garlic, cloves, pepper, laurel and sage2 pinches of salt as well
AND YOU MIX (optional: half a tbs of apple cider vinegar)
Okay, now, you gona deglaze it.
Throw that white wine in, and drink a glass for yourself.
Once done bring back that piggy bad boy and put the other half of the garlic, pepper, cloves, sage and laurel
You're going to top up a bit if necessary with pork broth, or water.
THROW IT IN THE OVEN
Forget about it for 45mins
Look at that beauty!
Check the level of liquid. You want it to be like half a centimeter or less before stopping the oven
OPTIONAL: when out of the oven, you can add a mix of mustard, heavy cream and maple sirup.
1 full tablespoon of cream
1/2 tablespoon of mustard
1/2 tablespoon of maple sirup
Just to bring creaminess to the veggies ya know
And there you have it
As you already know I can't eat anything without the Hok Konsensus hot sauce by SauceXBT (npub124f…0068)
Pork leg tends to be dry, eat the skin and fat with the meat. Good for health, in mouth, and to taste!
