Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pork Belly

My featured recipe this time is inspired by a recent trip to the culinary mecca of Montreal. Brussels sprouts get a bad rap for many reasons but I think once you try this simple but very delicious recipe you'll fall in love with the sprouts. The unusual cooking method of leaving them on their stalk is such a dramatic presentation and combined with pork fat and a reduced apple cider vinegar  it is stellar.  

For best results, always cook the sprouts in rolling boiling salted water before roasting them.

New Products

I’m so excited to introduce my unique line of “thaw and serve”  cakes made exclusively with D.O.P 100 % extra virgin olive oil.  Extraordinary flavour will keep you coming back for these cakes that are light enough to be enjoyed any day of the week but can easily be turned into a dazzling special occasion, restaurant quality dessert in a flash. My product line started with this phenomenally fruity Greek olive oil and I’ve used it as the base for all of my savoury products to date, but this is first time I am featuring my oil in desserts.

Ideal cuts for braising include, briskets, shoulder/ blade ( beef, pork and lamb) and pork hocks or lamb or veal shanks. These cheap cuts are loaded with flavor and the masses are starting to discover that.
