I ended up getting a lump of pork scotch (neck muscles?) because it was cheap, and it's what they had in stock. I thinned about ½ a cup of the marinade with about another ~¼ cup of fish sauce, and used the resultant liquid to inject into the meat. I've placed the lot into a sealed container, which is in the fridge.
Now we wait...
I've been out in the garden to see which produce is ready to be picked. Turns out some of the blood plums on one of the trees are squishy-ripe, so I picked a bunch of those, as a colourful, sweet basis for my #BBQPork marinade. It goes a little something like this:
✅ 6 ripe blood plums (pitted)
✅ ½ fermented lime (4 chunks)
✅ 2 Tbsp fish sauce
✅ 6 cloves fermented garlic (crushed)
✅ 3 dried, fermented blood plums (chopped)
✅ 1 tsp chilli flakes
✅ 1 tsp Chinese five spice
Updates to follow...
I'm pleased to report that both my #GreenHam and roast chicken were properly cooked, flavoursome & juicy as fuck.
Apologies for the delay: shit got hectic yesterday afternoon/evening...
Please find attached pics of the finished #GreenHam. It was in the #PelletGrill for 6 hours, then rested under foil for another 1½ hours. It was by far the juiciest pork I have ever cooked.
Ham & cheese toastie for breakfast, it seems...
