Christmas Pork Treats

Introduction & Inspiration

These Christmas Pork Treats make for delicious party food. They have a wonderful bacon flavour to them and a slight chewiness courtesy of the pulled pork strands. The sprinkle of crispy Parma ham powder on top provides a good intense note of bacon as you bite into them.

I hope you'll like them!

Less than 30 minutes

Serving Size

8 x Christmas Pork Treats (3.5cm x 6.5cm x 1.5cm)

Main Ingredients:

135ml Lard

200g Pulled Pork Leftovers

45g Crispy Parma Ham Flakes

7g Crispy Parma Ham Powder

Salt To Taste

Recipe Instructions

Add all the ingredients in a pan and cook on a low-medium heat until all the ingredients are warmed up and the lard has melted.

Stir the mixture from time to time to ensure all the pulled pork and Parma ham flakes are coated in the lard.

Grease a Christmas mould and then spoon the pulled pork mixture into the mould holes. Use the back of a spoon or a fork to press the mixture down to form an even layer.

Sprinkle the top of the pulled pork shapes with crispy Parma ham powder and then allow them to cool in the mould, before placing it in the fridge for the ingredients to fully set.

Once set, carefully remove the Christmas Pork Treats from their moulds and place on a serving plate.

Enjoy!

Tips

These delicious treats can also be made into bars or whatever other shape you may wish to try!

Try making them using bone marrow too, if you have no lard or tallow available.

Ideally, purchase your offal and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

If you would like to try a slightly sweet version of these Christmas Pork Treats, you can add a small amount of honey to the pan while cooking. Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small quantities for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

These little shapes are great for special occasions like Christmas, and they are also perfect for parties, picnics, walks and other occasions when you would like to have a snack that you can bring with you that doesn't take up too much room, and yet is nutrient dense enough to keep you satiated.

Depending on how fatty your pulled pork is, simply adjust the amount of lard accordingly so that you maintain a good PKD ratio.
