As a kid I hated when my mom was cooking #pork hocks, because she'd start them boiling first thing and then I'd smell them all morning. Ugh.

I occasionally cook them myself now, and I am doing so today! The boiling phase still doesn't smell great, but I'm past that now, on to #braising them in a slow oven on a bed of sauerkraut, and they smell so good!

They're very fatty, but the meat chunks fall out of the fat, and are super lean and flavourful.

In praise of Maillard.

Maillard reaction, you are wonderful. All good cooking is a frame for a well-placed Maillard reaction.

I salute you, Dr Louis Camille Maillard.

A super cheap chili for a weeknight meal. Feeds roughly 6 adults for $2 a serving.

This is a great meal to cook if you're new to cooking and want to learn several techniques at once.

#Brining #Braising #Searing #Chopping are all key techniques for getting this chili across the finish line.

Note, like most of my dishes, this is not #Vegetarian but can easily be made vegetarian with the removal of the animal products. i=

I'm pretty sure I put WAY too much liquid Dutch oven for the beef I'm #braising. Dammit. Gonna take forever to reduce that. Luckily I don't go to sleep until 2 AM, but still!

This having to #hashtag everything is kind of a massive #PITA.
