Ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 thawed Cornish Hens
• 1 finely grated garlic clove
• zest of 1 lemon
• 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon regular paprika
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Serves 2 to 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes
Procedures:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°.
2. Pat the hens dry inside the cavity and outside with paper towels. Set them aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and oil until combined.
4. Evenly divide the garlic and herb rub between the hens and coat them on all sides and in the cavity.
5. Tuck the wings behind the hen and tie the drums together using butcher’s twine.
6. Transfer them to a roasting pan on a rack, and using a spatula, scrape all the remaining herb and garlic oil and rub onto the top of the hens.
7. Bake in the oven on a lower rack at 425° for 50-60 minutes or until the thickest part of the breast reads 163° to 165°.
8. Remove the game hens and rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Cut the hens in half along with the spice, or serve them whole with optional garnishes of lemons, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Try serving this with my Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans Almondine.

Homemade Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe » Cure + Cooked
You will absolutely love this delicious homemade corned beef and cabbage recipe that is cured, slow-cooked, and served up with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes.
Corned beef and cabbage is a popular dish that is made for St. Paddy’s Day in America. It is a brined cut of brisket that is then boiled to tenderize and cooked with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. It’s an extremely flavorful comforting dish.
Ingredients for this recipe:
For the Corned Beef
• 2 tablespoons peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon allspice berries
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cloves
• 5 bay leaves
• 1 gallon water
• 1 1/3 cup sea salt
• 4 teaspoons #1 curing salt
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• ½ gallon ice
• 5-6 pound brisket flat
For the Vegetables
• 1 tablespoon pickling spice
• 1 head cabbage cored and sliced into wedges
• 8-10 peeled and very thickly sliced carrots
• 3-4 pounds of red or Yukon potatoes
Serves 10
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3 ½ hours
Brining Time: 7 days
Procedures:
1. Corned Beef: Place all of the spices minus the salt and brown sugar into a medium-size bowl and simply smash using a fork to help break it up to make a homemade pickling spice. You can also do this with a mortar and pestle if you have one. Set it aside.
2. Next add 1 gallon of water to a very large pot along with 4 tablespoons of pickling spice, salt, curing salt, and brown sugar and bring it to a boil to dissolve the salts and sugar.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and add the ice to help cool.
4. Once the liquid is completely cooled to at least room temperature add the brisket flat to the pot making sure it is completely submerged. Add plates or bowls to help keep it submerged.
5. Every 2 days move the brisket around to make sure every side is getting brine on it.
6. After 7 days remove the brisket and rinse it very well on all sides.
7. Place the brisket into a large pot and cover it with water by about 4 inches.
8. Add in 1 tablespoon of the pickling spice and then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
9. Next, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 3 ½ to 4 hours or until very tender.
10. With about 30 minutes left in the cooking process add the cabbage, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and cover. You may need to move some things around to get it all to fit.
11. Once everything is done, slice the brisket against the grain and serve.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This recipe can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Simply reheat before serving.
How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of corned beef to a pot and heat over low heat until hot. If you need to add more water to the pot, feel free to do so.
How to Store: Cover with or without the cooking liquid and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cover without the cooking liquid and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
Save some of the cooking liquid and refrigerate it so you can use it to reheat it.
Corned beef has very high salt content, so it’s not looked at as a healthy recipe and some even consider it to be bad for you.
You can also add a roughly chopped onion to the corned beef when cooking it with the vegetables.
If the ice does not completely cool the mixture, you can flash cool the liquid in the freezer for 20-25 minutes.
Sometimes the brisket is extremely long, feel free to slice it in half before cooking it.
Watch the video to see how to properly slice a brisket.

Sorry My Bolognese Sauce is BETTER than Grandma's
This incredible Italian homemade Bolognese Sauce Recipe is slow-cooked with tomatoes and herbs for an unbelievable pasta or lasagna sauce. I can’t even begin to tell you how flavorful and authentic this sauce is. I guarantee you will love it.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Pounds finely minced beef chuck
• 2 pounds finely minced pork belly
• 2 large peeled, finely minced yellow onions
• 3 finely minced carrots
• 8 finely minced ribs of celery
• 4 finely minced cloves of garlic
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 cloves
• 2 cups dry red wine
• 2–28-ounce cans of crushed whole San Marzano tomatoes
• 1 ½ cups beef stock
• 2 ½ cups whole milk
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, optional
• coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Serves: 1 ½ gallons
Prep time: 1 hour
Cook time: 5 ½ hours
Procedures:
1. Add the olive oil to a large pot or rondeau over high heat and heat it until it begins to smoke lightly.
2. Add in the beef, spread it out around the pan, and sear for 2 minutes.
3. Stir the beef and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until it is finished cooking. Transfer it to a large bowl.
4. Place the pork into the pan over high heat, spread it out, and sear for 2 minutes.
5. Stir the pork, turn the heat to medium-low, and render the fat while occasionally stirring. This usually takes about 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork, leaving the rendered fat in the pot, and set it in the bowl with the cooked minced beef.
7. Add in the onions and caramelize on low heat for 45 to 60 minutes while occasionally stirring. They will be browned, tender, and sweet.
8. Pour in the carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper, and sauté over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender but still slightly firm on the outside.
9. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds or until fragrant.
10. Mix back in the cooked beef and pork along with the bay leaves and cloves.
11. Deglaze with red wine, turn the heat to high, and frequently stir until the wine is almost gone and absorbed, or au sec.
12. Add in the tomatoes and beef stock and stir to combine. Place on a lid and simmer over low heat for 3 hours. Stir every 45 to 60 minutes. It should be a thick, rich sauce at this point.
13. Pour in the milk and mix to combine.
14. Add an optional rosemary sprig and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered over low heat for 60-90 minutes. It will have a rich creaminess to it when it’s finished.
15. Cook the pasta according to its instructions and gently mix in a pan or bowl with some of the bolognese sauce using a rubber spatula.
16. Serve with a generous garnish of freshly grated parmigiana Reggiano.

Forget the Oven, This is How I Make a Leg of Lamb Now
This video was created in partnership with the American Lamb Board.
USDA recommends lamb reach an internal temp of 145F with a 3-minute rest
This full-flavored boneless leg of lamb recipe is stuffed with roasted garlic cloves and crusted in herbs for the most delicious entrée ever. You will love the big, bold flavors in this tasty lamb meal.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 3 ½ pound boneless leg of lamb
• 25-30 roasted garlic confit cloves
• 1/3 cup roasted garlic oil, + 2 tablespoons
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• ¾ cup dry red wine
• 3 cups beef stock
• Coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Serves 8
Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours 45 minutes
Procedures:
1. Start by removing the netting from the boneless leg of lamb and place it on a rack over a sheet tray. Be sure to keep the netting.
2. Generously season the lamb on both sides with salt and pepper and place it uncovered on the rack and sheet tray for 24-48 hours in the refrigerator.
3. About 30 minutes before the lamb is ready to be cooked, preheat the smoker or oven to 225°.
4. Next, mix the oil with thyme, rosemary, parsley, 5 roasted garlic cloves, salt, and pepper until combined. Set it to the side.
5. Remove the lamb and place it fat side down on the rack. Using a sharp knife, make 1” wide and deep incisions in 20-25 places about ½” to 1” inch apart from each other.
6. Stuff a roasted garlic clove in each slit until all the holes are filled.
7. Next, pour about 1/3 of the herb oil mixture over the inside of the lamb and spread it out using a spoon, brush, or your hands.
8. Fold the boneless leg of lamb back over and place the netting around it again
9. Use another 1/3 of the herb oil mixture over the outside of the lamb and spread it all around using a spoon, rush, or your hands, completely covering it.
10. Place the lamb on a top rack in the smoker with a drip pan underneath. It’s important to use a drip pan. If you are cooking in the oven, place the lamb directly in a 13x9 pan and place it on the middle rack in the oven. Smoke or cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 100° F, which takes about 2 hours.
11. Next, turn the heat up to 500° and cook it until it reaches 125° internally for medium-rare, 135° for medium, 145° F for medium-well, or 155° for well.
12. Remove it from the smoker or oven and place it on a cutting board to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
13. Optional Pan Sauce: If you want to make the pan sauce, take the drippings from the pan and place them in the freezer to quickly chill.
14. For the sauce, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a medium-sized sauce pot over medium heat.
15. Add in shallots and sauté until they are lightly browned, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
16. Deglaze with the wine, turn the heat to high and cook until there are 2 to 3 tablespoons of the liquid left.
17. Pour in the beef stock and cook until there is about 1 cup left, which takes about 10 minutes.
18. Finish by whisking in the chilled pan drippings, optional minced fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
19. Remove the netting from the lamb and thinly slice it.
20. Garnish with remaining 1/3 of herb oil and optional pan sauce.

New England Clam Chowder Recipe with Garlic Steamed Clams
I am back, and in my fanciest Boston fishmonger shellfish digging outfit fully equipped with a hipster sweater, denim apron, and of course a beanie for my dome. Of course, if I’m going to play the part I’ve gotta dress the part right? In the words of famous coach, Lout Holtz, “When you look good you feel good, and when you feel good you play well.” Not only was it fashionable it was also incredibly functional because outta nowhere winter has most recently smacked us here in Chicago as it’s gone from 75° to 35°. There is literally no fall, no spring, only summer or winter.
However, I have heard it said by locals that there are 4 seasons here in Chicago: summer, winter, construction, and traffic… Yeah NOT funny to the outsiders lemme tell you. So, as I was saying now that I’m nice and toasty on this cold day, it’s time to bust out a way oversized pot of New England Clam Chowder.

3. Place in the lamb shanks, turn the heat down to medium-high and sear on all sides until they are well browned, which takes about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
4. Remove the lamb shanks, add the onions and leeks to the pan, turn the heat to low-medium, and cook while stirring for 25 to 30 minutes or until well browned.
5. Deglaze with red wine and cook over high heat until it is mostly absorbed into the onions.
6. Turn the heat down to low medium and mix in the flour until combined to make a roux.
7. Pour in the beef stock along with the garlic cloves, rosemary sprig, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
8. Place back in the lamb shanks, cover the pot, and cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours over low heat or until they easily fall from the bone. USDA recommends lamb reach a minimum internal temperature of 145F with a 3-minute rest.
9. Remove the Lamb shanks and trim the meat away from the bones.
10. Roughly cut the lamb into 1” chunks. Set them aside.
11. Place the trimmed lamb bones back in the pot with the potatoes, carrots, and celeriac root and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, which takes about 30 minutes.
12. Finish by stirring back in the cut-up lamb shank and parsley, and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
13. Serve the lamb stew in a bowl with optional garnishes of chopped fresh parsley or rosemary.

Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 55 minutes
Procedures:
1. Start by whisking together the hot finger pepper, finely minced garlic, finely minced ginger, yogurt, chili powder, turmeric, salt, garam masala, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Taste it to see if it needs any more seasoning. Set it to the side.
2. Remove the chicken skin from the chicken breast, thighs, and drums, slice 2 to 3 ¼” to ½” deep incisions on each side.
3. Place the chicken into the bowl with the spice and yogurt mixture and mix thoroughly to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for as little as 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
4. Add the ½ cup of oil to a large 10-quart Dutch oven pot and fry the onions over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until they are brown and crispy, which takes about 15-18 minutes. Set them to the side on a paper towel to drain off any excess. Turn the heat off under the pot.
5. Thoroughly rinse the basmati rice in a fine strainer for several minutes until the water is clear coming out of the bottom. Keep the rice in the strainer and place in a large bowl of fresh cold water. Set it to the side for a few minutes.
6. Add the ghee to a large 6-quart pot over medium-high heat and sauté the whole bay leaf, star anise, cloves, green and black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.

9. Strain the rice and set it to the side by spreading it out on a sheet tray to cool quickly.
10. Return to the pot with the remaining oil where the onions were fried and turn the heat to medium-high.
11. Add in the marinated chicken along with the potatoes and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Be sure the potatoes are mixed in with the chicken and not just sitting on top.
12. Flip the chicken over, making sure to keep the potatoes in with the chicken, and cook for a further 5 to 6 minutes.
13. Add in 2/3 of the fried onions, 3 tablespoons of diced fresh mint, 3 tablespoons of diced fresh cilantro, and tomatoes, and mix to combine all the flavors and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
14. Flatten out everything in the pot using a spoon and then layer on with half the cooked rice, 2 tablespoons of diced fresh mint, 2 tablespoons of diced fresh cilantro, half the remaining fried onions, and salt. Do not pack the rice when putting it on top. Simply spread it out.
15. Repeat the process one more time completely. Top off with the remaining 4 tablespoons of ghee.
16. In a small bowl, add some warm heated milk and mix it with the saffron until it becomes very yellow. This only takes 2 to 3 minutes.
17. Strain the saffron milk and pour it in circle motions over the rice.

Classic French Onion Soup Recipe with Crostini and Gruyere Cheese
Not much out there that makes me happier than a delicious warm pot of soup, and more specifically French Onion Soup. If you make it you appreciate the robust flavors, even more, knowing you spent at least 15 minutes crying over peeling and slicing onions and then again when caramelizing them over an hour while constantly stirring.
Onions in their raw form are great on a burger, in ceviche, or possibly with tartar, but onions that are caramelized belong on just about anything, including a soup.

This Soup Deserves JUST AS MUCH attention as Clam Chowder
You will love this Creamy Fish Chowder Recipe loaded with Yukon potatoes, crispy bacon, fresh fish, and herbs in a delicious creamy broth. This is an easy-to-make hearty soup that is a great way to use up leftover seafood.
Fish chowder is a thick chunky seafood soup consisting of onions, celery, potatoes, seafood, stock, and milk. In the early days of this 18th-century recipe, it didn’t initially start using clams like in the classic clam chowder we know today. The seafood in the chowder was whatever was caught in the ocean. This could be fish, clams, lobster, or anything they were able to gather was used.
The word chowder gets its roots in the Latin word calderia, which originally meant a place for warming things, like a cauldron, that big black pot that hangs over the fire. In French, the word became chaudiere which describes fishermen who made their stews fresh from the sea.

THIS is the BEST Way to Cook Steak
Once you try the exceptional flavors in this reverse sear steak recipe, there is no going back to the old way of cooking beef. I was floored when I took my first bite of this steak, and there is no way I’m ever making steak any other way than this; it’s that good.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 1-pound New York Strip Steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 peeled shallot
• 12-14 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• coarse salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
prep time: 2 hours
cook time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Procedures:
1. Start by patting dry the steak on all sides with a paper towel. This will help to keep the outside of the steak as dry as possible to help create a great crust when searing.
2. Next, season the steak on all sides as you would before cooking it with coarse salt and cracked pepper.
3. Place it on a rack over a sheet tray and place it in the refrigerator uncovered for 2 to 24 hours. This process of pre-seasoning will allow the salt and pepper to penetrate deep into the meat so that every bite is perfectly seasoned. This works exceptionally well when the steak is at least 1 ½” + thick.
4. When you’re ready to prepare it, preheat the oven to 200°.
5. Place the steak on the rack over a sheet tray in the middle of the oven and cook for roughly 45 to 60 minutes. You want it to reach 100° internally, and the timing in the oven will depend on how thick and heavy the steak is.
6. Remove the steak from the oven and briefly set it to the side.
7. Add the olive oil to a 10” cast iron or carbon steel pan and heat over high heat until the oil smokes lightly.
8. For a medium rare internal steak, place the steak in the pan and turn the heat down to medium and let the steak cook for 1 minute.
9. Next, using tongs, move the steak around in a circular motion for 1 minute. Doing this will help completely brown the top of the steak.
10. Flip the steak over and turn the heat down to low-medium and cook it for 1 minute.
11. Add the garlic, shallots, thyme, and butter to the pan with the steak.
12. Baste the steak with a large spoon for 2 minutes to help brown and flavor the steak more. Remove the steak once it reaches 120° to 125° internally for medium-rare.
13. Let the steak rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
14. Slice the steak and serve it as is or with some Maître D’ Butter.

2. For the biga, the first dough, mix 1/3 cup of bread flour with 2 grams of sugar, ½ packet of yeast, and 3 tablespoons of water with a spoon in a bowl or container until combined and the flour is hydrated. Cover and set at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
3. For the second dough, add to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment 1 2/3 cups + 2 tablespoons of bread flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, the remaining ½ packet of yeast, and ½ cup of cold water and mix on low speed until combined, which takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Next, add the biga and continue to mix on low speed until combined.
5. Add in 1 egg at a time. Do not add the next egg until the before is absorbed into the dough.
6. Replace the paddle attachment with the hook attachment and then add 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Do not add the next tablespoon of butter until the one before is absorbed in the dough. Once combined, knead for 4 to 5 minutes on low speed.
7. Transfer the dough to a container with a lid and place in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours or until it doubles in size. It’s better if it tripled in size. See chef notes about proofing options.
8. Add the risen dough to a stand mixer with the hook attachment along with ¾ teaspoon salt, the remaining ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons of bread flour, and 1/3 cup of sugar and mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are absorbed into the dough. This takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
9. Like the process with the second dough, add in the remaining egg yolks, then the butter.
10. Once mixed in, add the honey-citrus aromatics, knead on low speed until combined, and then knead for 4 to 5 minutes.
11. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and carefully stretch it until it is roughly 12” to 14” inches wide by 18” in length.
12. Evenly sprinkle 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips over the dough.
13. Then, fold the third bottom up to the center, and then wrap the top third over the top of the center of the dough.
14. Sprinkle on ½ of the remaining chocolate chips over the dough.
15. Fold the right part of the dough over to the center, sprinkle on the remaining ½ of the chocolate chips over the folded dough, and then fold left over right.
16. Using a bench knife, scrape under the dough while turning it to form a taught dough ball with the seams underneath.
17. Transfer the dough to a panettone dough mold. Mine was 4 1/2“ inches deep by 7 ½” inches wide. Cover and sit at room temperature for 12-15 hours or in a cold oven with the door cracked and the oven light on for 8 to 10 hours or until the outside of the dough is ½” from the edge of the panettone mold and the dome of the dough is at least 1” above the mold.
18. Remove the cover from the panettone and let it sit at room temperature before scoring a T into the top of the dough, going no more than ¼” inch.
19. Top off with 1 teaspoon of softened unsalted butter and bake in the oven with a 350° convection fan for 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough is dark brown and reaches 195° in the center of the bread.
20. Using extra-long skewers, place two of them completely through the bread 1” inch from the bottom and 3” to 4” apart.
21. Hang the bread upside down for 2 to 3 hours to cool to room temperature.
22. Flip the bread over, slice and serve.

2. Add oil or duck fat to a large Dutch oven pot over medium-low heat.
3. Place in the pork and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned and some of the fat has been rendered. Set them to the side on a plate or bowl.
4. Add the sausages, turn the heat to medium, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. They do not need to be cooked through. Set them aside.
5. Stir in the onions and cook over low to medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes or until well browned. Come back and stir them every 5 to 7 minutes.

11. Bring the beans to a boil over high heat, then cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour or just until tender.

THIS is How I Get PERFECT Pork Loin Every Time
This perfect roast pork loin recipe is basted in herb butter and finished with a mustard cherry sauce for the ultimate meal. You will be blown away by the rich flavors in this pork recipe.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 ½ pound pork loin
• 2 sticks softened unsalted butter
• 6-8 finely minced garlic cloves
• 1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
• 1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ peeled small diced shallot
• 3 cups beef stock
• 1 ½ tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• ½ cup dried tart cherries
• Coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Serves 6
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 65 minutes
Procedures:
1. Start by trussing the pork loin. See the video on how to do this.
2. Place the trussed pork loin on a sheet tray with a rack and generously season it on all sides with salt and pepper.
3. Put the pork on the rack in the refrigerator, uncovered for 24 hours and up to 48 hours. This process is known as dry brining.
4. Make the herb butter by whipping the softened unsalted butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes or until it becomes light and fluffy.
5. Turn the speed to low and add in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until combined. Set it aside.
6. In a large 12” inch sauté pan with olive oil, heat it over high heat until it begins to smoke.
7. Place the pre-seasoned pork into the pan fat cap side down, turn the heat down to medium, and sear for 3-4 minutes or until well browned.
8. Give the pork a quarter turn and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until well browned. Repeat the process on the direct other side until well browned.
9. Turn the pork to seared fat cap side up, turn the heat down to low and cook for 1 minute.
10. Add in ½ of the herb butter.
11. Once it’s melted, baste the pork with a large spoon for 3 to 4 minutes.
12. Place the pork on the middle rack in the oven at 300° and cook for 32-35 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130° to 135°. This will render a medium internal temperature.
13. Once it’s done cooking, set the pork on a plate or cutting board and rest for 15 minutes.
14. While it’s resting, drain half the fat from the pan and return the pan to a burner over medium heat.
15. Stir in the shallot and cook sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
16. Deglaze with the beef stock and cook over high heat for 2-4 minutes or until the amount of liquid is reduced by 2/3. It should be thicker, like gravy.
17. Finish by stirring in the mustard, dried cherries, 1 tablespoon of herb butter, salt, and pepper.
18. Slice the pork and serve with the sauce.
