a bit earlier , above ' I made Pork Ragu ' iPot '
same sort of thing here , but the pork is goiing to be previously
1 SV , then 2 InDoorSmoker
I have 3 versions : S Spanish = smoked Spanish paprika , F French = Thyme and Rosemary M Mexican = Cumin
these were to be used for Carnitas and sandwiches.
I decided I had too many F's. it makes a fine sandwich sliced thin , but I wasn't going to eat that many
So : more Pork Ragu ' iPot ' but with these pork logs as the meat.
3.5 lbs ' S ' thawing in the singk
ready to go
getting color on the pork
I think @Duvel would appreciate this pic : juicy , tender pork w a light smokiness. I tried one : outstanding.
both pans are new
Tramontina Professional Fusion

both 10 " and 12 " I have pans that are very very nice for this step : T-Fal but but I wanted to ty these . very similar price
that's the bottle of wine going into the iPot , reduced to just short of a glaze : down to less than 10 % , in the same pans
I also Cuisinarted 2 lbs of brown muuchrooms , and cooked down to browning . using the same pans. nice
everyting into the iPot : 2 cans MB crushed tomatoes , no added salt . 6 garlic punch-outs , Dorot . Mushrooms ,
Pensey's Tuscan blend herbs
reduced wine .
iPot 45 Min HP , then shredded w hand masher . The flavor here was Astonishing ! deep, rich , w a mild smokiness that didnt overpower
the other flavors. a big winner for sure.
add
I added cream cheese and Dorot basil . I add the cream cheese for richness and creaminess
I do it this way so the CC just melts and does not scorch . 15 - 20 min LP , natural release
I always use natural release as 1 ) Im not in a hurry 2 0 and there is no Ragu splatter all over the top.
cooking down in the sink w IceBricks , I easily make in the New refirgerator.
portioned out into Brick Molds : 24 oz semi - disposable plastic storage containers
more about these vital container later
the red towel was to dry out the bottoms of the containers as the were wet.
these go into the refrigerator , covered , over night
then into the freezer , then Vac'd into Bricks , and added to the ' Brick Library " on the side of the freezer downstairs.
fit perfectly .
Nest time , Im going to omit the cream cheese . the above is delicious , 4 star , but Id like to try the identical w/0 CC
would be a bolder flavor , different , still starts but Bold ( different from Hot ) this is not hot at all.
Im very pleased this worked out so well.
the Ragu this was is the next level up , but Excellent.
