the cheeks from the pan but leave the grease. Then sear the vegetables
in the pork grease. Place the pork cheeks and the seared vegetables in
a tall pan. Pour in wine and cook mixture at 175 degrees Fahrenheit for
eight hours.
For pork sauce:
Broil pork bones, fore shank and shank for 20 minutes. Set aside. Cut
parsley and spices and braise them with the park lard. Then sauté until
mixture turns a golden color. Put broiled pork bones, fore shank and shank
in a tall pan. Add soy sauce and let reduce for five minutes. Then add
wine, bullion and garbanzos. Let mixture reduce for 20 minutes. Then completely
cover the meat mixture with water. Let mixture boil for three hours. Then
remove from heat and cover for 30 minutes. Drain mixture through cheesecloth.
For vegetables:
Boil cubed vegetables briefly until they are cooked but still crisp. Then
let cool in a bowl with water, ice and salt to taste.
To plate:
Mix some pork sauce, pork cheek wine reduction and a bit of butter together.
Use this mixture to glaze pork cheeks. Sauté vegetables with a bit of
olive oil. Using a round mold or a cookie cutter, mold the vegetables
in the center of the plate. Place the pork cheeks on top. Remove the mold.
