Traditional New Orleans Red Beans and Rice is made with pickle meat. Unfortunately, it's a south Louisiana staple and not sold in many areas. Here's a great recipe for making your own.

Categories     Roasts

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb very very fresh pork (use center cut pork chops or a chunk from a fresh ham, cut into chunks about 2" thick)
1 qt white vinegar
1/2 c mustard seed
6 whole cloves
6 whole allspice
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper or cayenne
3 bay leaves
6 clove whole garlic
1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp black peppercorns
1 pinch pink meat cure

Steps:

  • 1. Add all the ingredients except the Pork to a 2 qt Saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for 4 minutes, then place it into a container to cool in the refrigerator. When the mixture is completely cold, add the pork.
  • 2. Very important: Make sure the pork is completely covered with the brine; gently stir to remove any air bubbles.
  • 3. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 days before using.
  • 4. Any unused pickle meat can be vacuum sealed or tightly wrapped and frozen for a future use.
