Bitter Orange Poke

[squirtthecat]

So somebody gave me a bottle of this, and I just found it.   



Added a 3.75lb hunk of pork loin, and let it swim in the fridge for about 4 hours.

Rubbed with a bit of this.




And onto the MAK at 235°.




Kind of an ugly brute.  We'll see how it tastes.

Beauty is in the eye plate of the beholder...or the holder of the plate....

I will bet this is going to be a good one!

[squirtthecat]

We hope so!

Pulled at an IT in the low 140s..




Triple wrapped in foil and into a SamsClub Cambro.




Tube is still burning - but just barely.




I'll let it cool down, then bag up and toss into the fridge overnight.

Wow, these are good.  YES, you can taste the bitter orange. 

Some thick cut 'steaks' for us to dine on for a while.



And a 1.5lb hunk for a friend of mine who has been sharing the bounty of his garden fresh beans & broccoli..




All but a little bit vacuum sealed and parked in the freezer.

Sounds like the bitter orange was a good combo.

I figured you were gonna thin slice some of it for sammies...

We are in the midst of a 'sandwich revolt' at home, so I cut them thicker to side with some veggie dishes.

Okay, 'nough said.  I will look for the bitter orange the next time I go to the store (probably later today).  It would appear to have several possible uses besides pork.  Might be good on chicken thighs, too.  Time to play!

Art - the Hispanic foods section should have it.Depending on brand/translation - it may also be called "Sour Orange".....same thing.

So Momma has told you what you can do with all the sandwich meat you been stock piling Huh!! Something tells me she didn't tell you to eat it either.
