horsey made honey pork belly last night. that took quite a few hours and was awesome.

did you know that traditional mexican food is generally slow cooked? i learnt that last night.

slow cooked pork....mmmmm.

spit roast

1 x spit roast 5 kg of heat beads 1 x cut of pork OR 1 x cut of lamb

cook for 5 hrs

voila

that pork belly made my belly happy

My mum has a crock pot thing that cooks at low temperature for hours and hours.

Makes cheap meat delicious.

Got a Weber, MM?

modi - is the crock pot from the 70's? those things were bitchin'.

my mum's had awful yellow/orange/brown motifs on the side.

the meat cooked in those things was so juicy and tender. best.casseroles.ever.

i'm just watching nigella cook pork leg for 24 hours.

i need to do some more roasting.

Nah, it's pretty new, mono, I think there has been a resurgence in seventies cuisine.

haha no weber for me... i do have a nice BBQ.. but the brisket was done in the oven... at 140 degrees for 6.5-7 hours.

but first it was marinated for about 18 hours in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, onions, garlic salt, celery salt, salt, pepper, paprika, BBQ sauce, oregano, minced garlic cloves, and cumin.

was so many different types of awesome I can barely think straight when i think about it. mmmmm

I also made a slow cooked texas styled chilli on the weekend (and there is enough left for the next few days as well)....

i did lamb shanks in a red wine, tomato and chilli sauce last night.
took about 3 hours of slow cookin.
was damn damn fine.

Hey medicineman, check the Tom Petty thread.

(nothing to do with slow cooked meat, I just thought you'd be interested)

i ate a curry on friday night that had been cooking for 8 hours. mmmmmm.

has anyone here had a maori hangi? or samoan/tongan etc?

so.good. the meat just falls off the bone. they pack loads of meat and vegetables and cook it all day.

my sister married a maori guy so they bust out a hangi for special occasions, kids being born, some birthdays, weddings etc. they have a 'boiler' too, which functions as an above ground hangi for those times when you just can't dig up the garden. haha. tastes pretty close, and cooks for as long. they call it a 'boil up' though.

My mouth watered unbelieveably reading this...

I can't stop raving about the brisket you made, mm..

it was the yummiest meat i've ever had.

Fucking. Quotes. Fucking.

I meant, this...

MountainMan is going to be all over this thread when he sees it. He is the King of slow cooked meats. He has a book all about cooking with bones and Ioves cooking shanks on the weekends.

drools

i need a cook book covering more slow cooked meats.

i have a devil of a job trying to get veal bones to make stock and demi-glace..i have to go to bloody brisbane to get them..

i applaud your use of brisket,mm - the cheap cuts are the tastiest when cooked properly ...as you can clearly do:)

yeah I don't think the butcher was used to people asking for a hunk of boneless brisket to cook - he asked us how we were going to do it...

but the end result was incredibly tasty

lamf is the king of slow-cooked meats and BBQ, you should pm him and swap tips, medman. TJ knows his stuff too, I'll be giving that rub a try at the next opportunity.

I wish I could find my BBQ jerk goat recipe...

i need a cook book covering more slow cooked meats.

Medicineman, if you find one, can you post the details?

yep certainly lucyD!

lamb shanks with red lentil and pearl barley stew just went into the oven.

i will report back in several hours.

Meat is murder.

pfft, you just want the one you can't have, moz

success!

big success!

am about to serve up some ox tail stew that has been simmering for close to 10 hours, all up

just removed the bones, and they were completely free of meat, it's all just fallen off

yum!

Yesterday's dinner- 3 kilos of boned pork shoulder, opened up, smothered in BBQ sauce and re-rolled, then cooked over hickory chips for three hours.
