So it's National Mead day and I honor Of it so broke out the last bottle of an Orange Spiced Melomel Mead I made a while back

Which also happens to be a sparkling Mead

So, here are a few of the players in the line up

First we're going to marinade the pork loin in the mead for a while.

Then I'm going to put it into a 350dF oven for an hour then turn it down to 250 for another 2 hours. I'll be back when we're ready for the next steps.

good times ...

I like thin pancakes like that, and the benedict, yum.

RocketMan why the two different temps?

RocketMan why the two different temps?

It has to do with getting a quick cook on the outside to seal in juices and the slow roasting it to tender goodness. 350 is actually low for the seal part but I didn't want it to dry out too much.

Pork Loin goes into a bed of Sweet Itslisn Red Onions and Baby Carrots with the Mead marinade poured over. Cover with foil and into the oven for an hour.

While that roasts, get out the food processor and add some walnuts and almonds.

Round and round till it looks good.

Then add an equal portion Plain Panco Bread Crumbs.

I love DC cooking!

How about some sides?

Roasted Small Red Potatoes with salt and Italian herb mix

Steamed Broccoli and Carrots in Mead and butter sauce

In the back on the left is the topping toasting in some butter and on the right is Mead and Chicken Broth with some corn starch.

Devil's Cut float for dessert? =)
 
LOL.

 

[RocketMan]

Wow, Mead and Pork were made for each other! The sweetness of the mead and spices were really picked up by the meat. And the carrots, oh man, awesome.

Happy National Mead day Y'all!

 

[grantmichaels]

CHEERS!

 

[Alynne]

This I a a pre drunken post. Headed for the beach for a week and want my bloodys. Instead of taking a bunch of bottles and spices I made this.

Lots of horseradish, Jalepeno sauce, habanero sauce, pepper, salt, wishertershire and Tobasco. I think one teaspoon will work in a glass of V8 and tomato juice. (Already packed)

Oh! Need to add pickle juice.

Looks good to me!

 

[BigB]

why you dissing truffle oil 

 

[grantmichaels]

why you dissing truffle oil 

 
at this point well-known to be total BS ...
 
it's an ad/mkting product, basically, both from what i hear, and IRL having purchased some ...
 
trace truffle funky bullshit ... or at least, i don't like it, and believe i might very much enjoy fresh truffle shavings ...
 
whatcha got on the other side of the coin? =)
