My order of 2 kilograms of pork cheeks arrived yesterday from our caterers. Only it turned out to be five kilos. Five one kilo bags.
I opened one bag ready to start marinating them and it contained 12 cheeks. The other 4 are now in the freezer. Looks like dinner tomorrow will be vindaloo. Problem is, with such a glut, do I go with a tried and tested recipe (Meera Sodha https://meerasodha.com/recipes/pig-cheek-vindaloo/ ), or experiment with some of the other recipes I found on the net that look so good (Gymkhana https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jul/10/gymkhana-suckling-pig-vindaloo-recipe )?
The caterers looked at the bill from their butcher and found the cheeks hadn’t been charged, so they gave them to me free. Probably saved me about £35 to 40.
