Eating and Hiding...with Aaron!

Hello friends.
CONTENT WARNING: there are a couple of stories about poop on this episode...but they are all super funny. And..everyone poops.
Our bestie Aaron joins us on this episode to talk about the foods that we love to chomp down in private. Maybe they make us feel guilty, maybe they make us happy, maybe they are a little present we want to keep all to ourselves. 
We tell stories of triumph and defeat...all for the love of eating.
Send us your stories! letseat@mikeyandrinne.com - if you send us something, we will definitely talk about it on air!
Love you MREI fam!

Rinneys Vrasciole alla Verbiacarese (aka “BRAHJOLE”) - adapted from My Calabria by Rosetta Constantino (our FAVE Italian cookbook):
 
3 lbs pork butt (we used Coppa, cut like a loin), trimmed of fat - save it!
Kosher Salt, liberally applied
1/4 lb back fat, or trimmed fat from pork - finely ground or minced into a paste
2 1/2 Tablespoons finely chopped Italian Parsley
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
EVOO
2 Quarts of peeled and chopped tomatoes (we used our farmers market, canned tomatoes), you can use two 28oz cans of San Marzano Tomatoes
5 fresh Basil Leaves
 
Cut the pork (or “butterfly”), to make it flat. Mikey likes to do this by cutting it like a pinwheel or peeling an apple: long slices to “open up” the pork loin, work around the length of the pork loin until you get to the middle, and you have a wide flat piece of pork “sheet”
Cut flattened loin into 5 by 3 inch rectangles, and pound out in a ziplock bag or in between saran wrap, until about 1/2 inch thick constantly
Mix together the pork fat, parsley, minced garlic, salt and pepper (yummy amounts)
Spread the pork fat mixture across the pork slices, edge to edge
Roll the pork slices into little cigar shapes, and use butcher twine to tie up at the ends, or “truss” them fully (look up a Youtube video for a meat “trussing” technique)
In a large sided pot, bring EVOO to a high-is heat and sear the little “cigars” until brown on all sides - remove and let rest on a paper towel.
Add Tomatoes to the pan, scraping up all the yummy bits, add back in the vrasciole cigars and let cook - stirring often, until cooked down and yummy - About an hour to an hour and a half.
Remove twine before eating - serve with pasta or just eat it!
