I keep spice mixes on hand to any other meat and cooked to an my two-step method, that keep rub on pork chops right before cooking (see sidebar at internal temperature that en- the pork moist.—C.S. right). About 1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon of spice mix patted on each side of a chop supplies plenty of flavor without overwhelming the pork. The three combinations that are my favorites for pork are a curry-based mix, a chile and juniper berry mix, and a mix that reminds me of Provence, with rosemary, garlic, and lemon. Pork cooked with the curry spice mixture com- bines well with fruits such as apples, pears, and pineapple, and grains such as basmati or arborio rice, quinoa, and couscous. The chile and juniper berry mix has a Southwestern taste, and goes well with tomatillos, peppers, tomatoes, corn, and polenta. Pork cooked with the Provençal spices is a natural to serve with ratatouille. Though these spice mixtures are my current favorites, there are many ways to season pork chops.

  • The World of Duck Processing the World of Duck Processing
    The world of Duck processing The world of Duck processing In many markets duck products are becoming more popular. Duck meat is tasty and offers a good and healthy source of protein. With the increase in world population, the increase in per capita consumption of proteins and the open world market, expectations for growth are positive. Markets demand more, safer and an ever greater variety of end products. In many markets this leads to centralization, up-scaling and a more automated production. Producers are striving for higher efficiency and a reduction in costs. Everyday production must be able to run without problems with the highest possible up-time, the best yields achievable and predictable, lowest possible cost of ownership. A lot of attention is also being paid to food safety and quality and of course to producing in a responsible way. Animal welfare, water and energy consumption, full traceability and good care of the raw material are important starting points. High speed, high quality For over more than 50 years, we at Marel are proving our strength in the global poultry industry, with technology for all poultry species, all production speeds and every level of automation. We offer transparent, efficient and controllable processing that offers full traceability of products. Of course our dedicated duck processing technology takes into account all unique aspects of a duck’s anatomy and the common product and market requirements. The result is a unique, modular and in-line solution, with an unrivalled level of automation, suitable for the highest possible production capacity, being 6,000 ducks per hour on one production line.

  • Deep-Frying with Avocado Oil Plus Falafel Recipe
    Deep-Frying with Avocado Oil Plus Falafel Recipe Deep-frying is not something I tend to do at home, but I’ve tried it with my avocado oil. My results have been mixed, but I recently came across a winner, which I’ll share with you below. If you’ve ever tried to cook something over high heat with extra-virgin olive oil, you know that it doesn’t always work well because it doesn’t have a high smoke point, which is necessary for successful deep frying. It can smoke up your kitchen, but also can create compounds that are not so great for you. You extra-virgin avocado oil has all the flavor points and a similar nutritional profile as a fine olive oil, with one exception — it has a much higher smoke point at 480 degrees F. I’ve deep-fried a few different foods like potatoes, doughnuts, and shrimp. These all came out okay texture-wise, but some foods really need a neutral tasting oil. Since deep- frying isn’t something I do anyway, and it’s not the best use of a fine oil, I kind of gave up on that idea until recently. One of my favorite types of food is Mediterranean, and my favorite Mediterranean food is falafel. If you’ve never had falafel, it’s basically a dough made of chickpeas mixed with herbs and spices that is deep-fried until crunchy. I’ve made them a few times by baking them, but it’s just not the same. Recently, I made some falafel and before I was ready to bake them, I spied my bottle of avocado oil in the counter and decided to give deep-frying another shot — and I’m so glad I did.
