Burrito Bowls

This recipe is super quick, super tasty & so easy to clean up after!
I made this using our Pasture Raised Pork Leg chops. Popped it in the slow cooker at 3.30pm & dinner was ready to go when I got home at 7.30pm.
Quick & easy recipes like this one help me to avoid grabbing take away on those super busy days.

I like to cook up a double batch of the meat when I can to freeze some of it for later use. It’s the same amount of work up front, but I end up with more quick & easy lunch/dinner options in the weeks ahead. We have to work smarter, not harder!! It is really important when doing this to make sure you remove the amount you want to freeze before you let the teenagers know dinner is ready! Otherwise they can quite easily keep on coming back for more.

Why cook up leg chops for shredded pork instead of a shoulder roast? The leg chops cook quicker, can be shredded quicker & take up less space in the freezer. A similar result to the shredded pork shoulder with less work on days where you are time challenged.

Ingredients:
2-3 Pork Leg Chops
2 tspn paprika
2 tspn smoked paprika
2 tspn cumin
1/2 tspn chilli powder
1/2 tspn ground black pepper
1 tspn salt

Method:
Mix spices together & rub over leg chops (both sides)
Place chops in slow cooker & cook for 4 hours on high (you don't need any liquid - the chops will cook in the pork juices & fat - trust me on this!).
Remove the rind & bones & shred the pork with 2 forks. Make sure you incorporate all of the beautiful juices as you shred. The juices are so good for you & add so much more flavour.

To put this burrito bowl together we served it with Lime Rice with corn (adaption of this recipe ), avocado, fresh tomato salsa and lettuce).

To make the Fresh Tomato Salsa:
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped red onions
Chopped red chilli (optional)
Dress with Apple Cider Vinegar to taste

I have also made the shredded pork using the spice mix from the I Quit Sugar pulled pork recipe (just replace dry ingredients above with dry ingredients in this recipe). Incredibly delicious.

I hope you enjoy. Let me know how you go.

Customer Recipe - Roast Pork Bone Passata

We had a Working Bee here recently on the farm & the gorgeous Rosie from Mangrove Creek Permaculture came along to help out. Rosie is a pocket rocket. I don’t think there is anything that she hasn’t turned her hand to in her lifetime. She produces a lot of her own food, keeps poultry, is a beekeeper, is an incredible woodworker & is a wonderful listener when you need to pour your heart out. She is so capable & will give anything a try. Such a wonderful lady to have as a friend I can tell you.
Well I sent Rosie home from the Working Bee with some of our Pasture Raised Pork Bones & she cooked this up & wrote out the recipe for us. Pork bones bring a wonderful depth of flavour to pasta dishes & soups. We are all very focussed on our beef stocks & chicken broths -but seem to be overlooking the goodness we can get from pork bones.
And the best part of it all? Rosie dropped a container of the Roast Pork Bone Passata in for us to try. It was so delicious!

RECIPE:
Ingredients:
Carrots
Celery
Onions
Garlic
Parmesan rind (optional)
Pork Bones
Chicken Stock (or water)
Passata

Roast pork bones with a coating of olive oil in the oven till sizzling and brown.

Saute chopped onion, carrot, celery, garlic in olive oil till soft – in large pot.

Add bottled passata,  parmesan cheese rind (optional),  bay leaves,  Black pepper, salt,  & stock  - keeping it very liquid as it cooks down over time, and roasted bones.   Cook 4-6 hours on a simmer. Check occasionally if too reduced and add more water.

At the end strip bones of meat and add this meat back into the sauce.

Serve with spaghetti or gnocchi ( as in photo), parsley/basil and parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
