Results tagged “pork cheeks” from Birmingham Mail - Restaurant Spy

Pork cheeks are one of those cuts of meat that were well known to our frugal forebears but which are not much eaten these days.

What a shame because they are cheap, filling and - when properly cooked - tender and full of flavour.

I cooked a couple yesterday and was delighted with the results, though they did need a sharp apple sauce to cut through their richness.

I roasted them on a very low heat for six hours then placed them under a hot grill to crisp up the crackling.
