PORK
Forget the myth that pork is one of the
hardest meats to cook - if you take time and care and find the right
recipes, you will have some delicious meals at your fingertips. We are proud to supply 'Harmony' pork products to our customers. Harmony is the only SPCA accredited 'Freerange' pork company in NZ, and this comes out in the quality of all their products. A happy pig is a tasty pig! Go to the Pork section in the butchery section to purchase these fine products.
Loins,
racks and chops: With lean and delicious meat inside
surrounded by a layer of juicy fat, the rolled loin is the perfect cut
for a pork roast. Cooking the loin on a high heat for the first 20
minutes will turn the skin into the delicious crackling that roast
lovers dream of. Racks with the bone in can also be cooked as a roast or
portioned into chops and cooked on the barbie. We recommend marinating
with one of the tasty marinades available from our site or in store. Try
honey, soy sauce, chilli or pomegranate and molasses. A real treat!
Cutlets:
Cut from the middle of the loin and trimmed of all visible fat, pork
cutlets are a lean and healthy option for those of us watching the belt
holes. Delicious and nutritious goodness, pork cutlets are another great
option for barbequeing and marinating. Don't forget how lean these
cutlets are, so always brush them with oil before cooking.
Belly:With alternating layers of fat and meat, pork belly is one of
the most delicious and decadent of pork cuts. Once regarded as a
cheaper, lower quality cut, pork belly is now a favourite on the menu of
the country's top restaurants.
