    "Girth of the Earth" Umami Ketchup

     

     

    Ingredients:

     

    - 1.5 kg tomatoes

    - 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

    - 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar

    - 2 tbsp salt

    - 1 brown onion, finely chopped

    - 1/2 cup tomato paste

    - 2 tbsp olive oil

     

    - 2 tbsp ground dried porcini

    - 2 tbsp molasses

    - 2 tbsp oyster sauce

    - 1 tbsp soy sauce

    - 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce

    - 1 tsp ground cumin seeds

    - 1 tsp marmite/vegemite

     

     

     

    1. Line large saucepan with aluminium foil, bring to medium heat, and add whole tomatoes, turning gradually for 30mins until skin is blistered. Remove and leave to cool until skin can be safely discarded. Purée in blender.

     

    2. Remove foil from pan and turn to high heat. Add all remaining ingredients from top section with puréed tomato and bring to an aggressive simmer. Reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally until reduced to a thick paste. Purée again and leave to cool in a sealed container in fridge.

     

    3. Mix remaining ingredients in small bowl and combine with tomato mixture, adjust molasses/worcestershire/soy ratio to desired sweetness.

     

    Serve wherever ketchup applies

     

     

     

    Yucatecan Orange Pork

     

    Ingredients:

     

    - 2-3 kg Shoulder/Collarbutt of Pork

    - 4 seville oranges

    - 1 lime

    - 3 tbsp vegetable oil

    - 6 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped

    - 4 brown onions, quartered

    - 1 dried habanero

    - 1 tsp (mexican) oregano

    - 1/2 tsp ground cumin seeds

    - 12 ground peppercorns

    - 3 whole allspice

    - 1 tbsp achiote seeds*
    * if you can't find achiote seeds, you can use paprika

    - 2 tbsp salt

     

     

    1. Scatter onion in slow cooker. Place whole habanero in middle of slow cooker. Grind and mix all herbs, spices, and garlic and rub over pork, then put it into the slow cooker over onions.

     

    2. Juice oranges and lime and pour over the pork. Sprinkle the vegetable oil around the dish. Turn slow cooker to low heat and cook covered for 5 hours.

     

    3. Raise heat to high and cook uncovered for two more hours, allowing the juice to thicken

     

    Serve straight from slow cooker or caramelize on barbecue with a little added vegetable oil

     

     

    Chipotle Cream

     

    Ingredients:

     

    - 2 cups thickened cream, or 1 cup cooking cream for thickening

    - 2 tbsp milk

    - 1 tbsp lime juice

    - 2 chipotle peppers

    - 2 cloves of garlic

    - 1 tsp oregano

    - 1 tbsp dark brown sugar

     

     

    1. Prepare cream and buttermilk. Combine milk with lime juice, allowing to sit for 5 minutes until clumpy. Stir in with thickened cream.

     

    2. Put peppers in small saucepan and cover with water, simmer gently, adding garlic, oregano, and brown sugar. Once the peppers are plump and fleshly (~40mins), pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth - some flakes are ok. Set aside to cool

     

    3. Mix in with cream. The flavour should be pretty mild but you can add a dash of salt and pepper if you want; the heat should creep up on you.

     

    Serve on a soft bun with the pork


    Just finished my own attempt at this verticalhold.

    What TV series are you watching at moment?

    I'm watching the Up series. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a documentary series that began in 1964, following the lives of a dozen or so people from different social backgrounds from the age of seven. Each consecutive episode is seven years down the road, regrouping with them to see where they're at. As a cultural studies nerd I find this series totally fascinating; the main conceit is that the culture these children are born into will dictate where/how they go in life: "give me a child until he's seven, and I will give you the man".

     

    I'm up to 21, I think it's up to 56 now though
