Instructions

  1. 1 Place kosher salt, brown sugar, pink salt, and pickling spice in a container large enough to hold brine and ham.
  2. 2 Bring 2 quarts water to a boil and pour over brine ingredients; whisk to dissolve. Pour in 1 gallon fresh cold water to cool down mixture.
  3. 3 Score the skin side of pork roast with a sharp knife, cutting into the fat beneath the skin but not into the meat. Score about 1 inch apart, then score in the opposite direction to get a classic diamond-shaped pattern.
  4. 4 Lower roast into brine, skin-side up. Use a plate to weigh down roast, so it cures fully submerged in liquid. Refrigerate for 1 day for every 2 pounds of pork (cure for 2 1/2 days for a 7-pound roast). Turn roast over halfway through the brining process.
  5. 5 Remove roast from brining liquid. Discard brining liquid and transfer roast back to the brining container. Cover roast with fresh cold water to rinse off salt; let soak for a few minutes to overnight, depending on how salty you want your ham. Remove roast from water and blot dry with paper towels.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  7. 7 Add 1 cup water and 2 whole star anise to a roasting pan. Place roast on a rack in the roasting pan.
  8. 8 Roast in the preheated oven until ham reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F (55 to 58 degrees C), about 2 hours. Ham will not be fully cooked at this point. If water has nearly evaporated, add a splash more.
  9. 9 Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Continue to roast ham until the skin is browned and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F (63 to 66 degrees C).
  10. 10 Make optional glaze: Mix mustard, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Brush glaze on baked ham. Return roast to the oven for 5 minutes.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Pat pork shoulder with kitchen towels or paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season all sides evenly with truffle salt and white pepper.
  3. 3 Heat olive oil and truffle oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork shoulder to the hot oil and brown thoroughly on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate.
  4. 4 Lower heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons truffle butter in the Dutch oven. Add potatoes and season with truffle salt and white pepper. Saute until potatoes are golden brown but not cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
  5. 5 Add onions, parsnips, and celery to the pot; cook until softened, adding more olive oil to prevent burning if necessary, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a medium bowl.
  6. 6 Return heat to medium-high and pour in wine; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add pork back to the pot and surround it with browned potatoes. Add vegetable broth until liquid covers the potatoes.
  7. 7 Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Flip the pork and bake an additional 45 minutes. Transfer 2 to 3 cups cooking juices to a bowl and set aside for sauce. Baste the pork in the pot with the remaining cooking juices. Add onion-mushroom mixture, cover, and bake until vegetables are tender and pork is done, 15 to 20 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  8. 8 Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons truffle butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the reserved cooking juices into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine pork shoulder and liver in a large saucepan. Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, bring remaining 4 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
  3. 3 Use a slotted spoon to transfer pork to a cutting board; let cool.
  4. 4 Stir green onions, onion, parsley, bell pepper, celery, cilantro, and garlic into the simmering pork broth. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and pepper flakes. Simmer until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, grind cooled meat using the coarse plate of a meat grinder. Stir ground meat into the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has nearly evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked rice and set aside to cool.
  6. 6 While the meat mixture is cooling, rinse sausage casings inside and out with plenty of warm water. Keep casings in a bowl of warm water until ready to stuff.
  7. 7 Once the sausage mixture is cool enough to handle, stuff into the prepared casings using a sausage stuffer. Prick sausages with a needle every 4 to 6 inches.
  8. 8 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to keep the water at a gentle simmer. Add sausages and cook gently until hot on the inside, firm to the touch, and plumped in appearance, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
