Left over pork roast

Recommended Posts

I have some roast pork shoulder leff over from last night.

What should I make with it?

Char sui Bao?

Stir fried/ double/triple cooked pork?

Sweet and sour?

Rillettes?

Pork stew (with or without beans)

Curry

What else?

Suggestions (and your favourites) please!

goulash, definitely goulash.

enchiladas are also a favorite in the Solomon household--but I usually look at those as a warmer weather food. Goulash warms the heart and soul.

I always attempt to have the ratio of my intelligence to weight ratio be greater than one. But, I am from the midwest. I am sure you can now understand my life's conundrum.

Pork pot pie with lots of rich gravy, root vegetables, a chopped apple, sage and a couple pinches of allspice and dry mustard.

Or perhaps you could try your hand at a pork martini?

Mmmm! I have been wanting something to do with Saturday's pork loin. This looks like a workable solution. The pot pie, not the (ugh! gag!) pork martini.

What I did with part of the leftover pork loin was similar to what petite tête de chou suggested but by dinner time I didn't feel like making crust so I served it with rice.

My daughter said it looked like it came out of a can bacause it was all diced so uniformly.

It was really very tasty and she liked it too..

Fake Memphis style BBQ sandwiches: Chop and/or

shred the pork, mix with BBQ sauce, warm in microwave,

pile on lightly toasted

big soft white bread bun,

add salt and squirts of really hot sauce,

top with coleslaw,

pop open cold beer,

turn on TV, enjoy.

What would be the right food and wine to go with

R. Strauss's 'Ein Heldenleben'?

I definitely agree with the Pork Fried Rice, Cubano and BBQ sandwich suggestions.

Last time I had left over roast pork loin I diced it up and made a pork, broccoli and cheddar quiche with it. It was nothing earth shattering but it was pretty good.

You could easily convert the remainder into carnitas--shred it, moisten it just a bit with a little broth and/or a drizzle of oil, roast just until it gets some crispy bits, then serve in warmed soft corn tortillas topped with chopped cilantro, salsa fresca, plus lime wedges on the side.
