Choosing & preparing pork
How to choose
Look for pink-red, firm flesh with a little marbling. Loin and tenderloin are lean and fast; shoulder (Boston butt) and belly are fatty and made for slow cooking.
Prep & storage
A brine keeps lean cuts juicy. Render fatty cuts low and slow to turn the collagen silky; sear first for a flavourful crust.
When is it done?
Modern pork is safe at 63°C / 145°F with a short rest, leaving the centre faintly pink and juicy; shoulder and ribs go to ~90°C+ for pull-apart tenderness.
Nutrition
A good source of protein, thiamine and B vitamins; choose loin cuts to keep saturated fat lower.
Classic flavour partners: apple, garlic, fennel, sage, soy sauce, mustard
