Best 4 Quick Pork Shoulder With Pickled Onions Recipes

QUICK PORK SHOULDER WITH PICKLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Blend first 4 ingredients in blender until smooth.
• Heat oil in pressure cooker on medium-high heat. Add meat in batches; cook 4 min. or until evenly browned. Return all meat to pressure cooker; top with juice mixture.
• Lock pressure cooker lid in place. Cook on medium-high heat until pressure vent locks in place and regulator begins to rock gently. Reduce heat gradually to maintain slow steady rocking motion; cook 55 min. Remove from heat. Let stand 10 min. or until pressure vent drops. Meanwhile, add onions to saucepan of boiling water; cook 5 min.
• Drain onions; place in bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat. Remove regulator from pressure cooker, then lid. Remove meat from cooker; shred meat. Return to cooker; toss with sauce. Top tortillas with meat mixture and onions; roll up.

PORK SCHNITZEL WITH QUICK PICKLES

Steps:

• Prepare the pickles: Grate the zest from one of the limes and juice them both. Add zest and juice to a shallow bowl along with the remaining pickle ingredients and toss well. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Chill if letting them sit for longer than 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pork: Mix flour with cayenne and nutmeg. Place flour mixture in one shallow dish, place eggs in a second dish, and place bread crumbs in a third dish. Season pork cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle pork more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
• When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add as many cutlets as comfortably fit in one layer, leaving plenty of room around them. Swirl and tilt pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining pork.
• Serve pork sprinkled with scallion and drizzled with a little of the pickle juice, accompanied by the pickles and the lingonberry jam, if you like.

BARBECUED PORK SANDWICHES WITH PICKLED RED ONION

Steps:

• For onion:
• Place sliced onion in medium bowl. Pour boiling water over. Let stand 10 minutes; drain well, then return to bowl. Add juice, vinegar, and salt and stir to blend. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• For vinaigrette:
• Chop garlic with salt to paste; scrape into small bowl. Add barbecue sauce, orange juice, and lime juice to bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
• For pork:
• Blend pepper, smoked paprika, and salt in small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over both tenderloins. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (high heat). Grill tenderloins uncovered 5 minutes, rolling over to sear all sides. Cover grill and continue to cook until thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 145°F, turning often and moving to cooler part of grill as needed, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice tenderloins crosswise into rounds. Mound pork on roll bottoms. Top with well-drained onion slices, then drizzle with vinaigrette. Cover with roll tops and serve, passing extra onion slices and vinaigrette separately.

SLOW-ROASTED PORK SHOULDER WITH PICKLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Put a large skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is hot, add the fennel and onion. Cook and stir for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, combine the fennel seeds, coriander, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and cinnamon. Mash or buzz until you have a spice powder. Put the spice powder in a small bowl and mix in the salt and pepper.
• Put the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, make small slits all over the surface of the meat. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, inside and out, being sure to get in the incisions. Lift up the top flap and spoon the fennel and onion mixture inside the pork.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Pour in just enough water to film the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Slow-roast the pork for 2 hours.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425°F and roast for another hour, until the meat is falling apart. Carefully transfer the pork to a serving platter, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve the pork with some pickled onions on top, and chow down!
