Make Pulled Pork in the Oven / Chashu / Chickpea Soup



Blog Post: How to Make Pulled Pork in the Oven


Nothing with “2 liters of Coke” as an ingredient could possibly be classified as healthy. But since I doubt you’ll be eating this every day, I’m not that worried.


Blog Post & Recipe: Japanese Chashu


Chashu is a dish made of fattier cuts of pork that are braised over low heat for a very long time. The low, slow cooking, renders out the fat while turning the tough collagen in the meat into gelatin which keeps the meat moist while making it meltingly tender.


Blog Post & Recipe: chickpea soup


Essentially, the chickpeas, onions, and garlic get plunked in a pot, and covered with liquid. It could even be made in the slow cooker. Then heat, wait, and eventually, purée. The most time consuming part is getting the chickpeas puréed at the end to create a beautifully silky product.
