Title: Ground Meat Question
Post by: _33 on February 07, 2011, 11:35:57 AM: Do you treat ground pork exactly like ground beef? Do you just cook it the same way or is there a different technique?

I got like 8 lbs of it given to me so I need to make lots of things. What I really need to know is if I can just make it exactly like ground beef and still have it taste good. Like, I want to make tacos but I don't know if that would work.

Post by: pissclams on February 07, 2011, 01:15:09 PM: it's greasier. i bet ground pork tacos would be great.
Title: Re: Ground Meat Question
Post by: OK_Cat on February 07, 2011, 01:21:58 PM: i think 'clams is right. the only difference in beef and pork is that pork is probably a bit more greasy. you can still do the same things with it, though.

No, it is very not better. Spanish chorizo is one of the finer sliced meats out there. It's the one asking prosciutto how its @ss tastes.

Someone else made them, I just ate.

But I would make burgers like you normally do, maybe mix in some sage or other great pork related seasonings. Place think green apple slices on top of burger and melt Gorganzola on top.

Title: Re: Ground Meat Question
Post by: sys on February 07, 2011, 11:32:13 PM: spanish chorizos, both fresh & cured are some multiple better than mexican chorizos, which really, are pretty nasty, but taste ok with a good salsa (like anything else).

chorizo en sidra is one of the top ten foods in the world.

33, you can probably use some of the ground pork to make a good green chili.
