Yes, it was such a good meal with 'fat' meat!!!
Don't fear the fat...Everybody knows that good fats come mainly from vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fish. But fat from other sources serve a purpose when eaten in moderation. There are two broad categories of beneficial fats:
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Pork really is the other white meat.
Of course, the downside to this is that
fat is what makes pork taste so good which explains why ham and bacon
are far more popular than leaner cuts. In case you don't know, gently rendered pork fat 'lard' is really the closest substance to the natural oils in human skin. So, remember, there's no reason to fear fat because some fat in your diet is really good for you...your skin.
You will need to buy: Pork Hocks (as many per person as you need to serve). Fresh green asparagus and pasta shells. First, you have to coat a glass dish with olive oil. Next, season the hocks with these dried herbs: paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, rosemary, mint, and sage.
Pre-heat your oven to 375. Place the hocks into the oven once the temperature is reached. Bake for about 40 minutes at 375 and then the next 60 minutes at 350 uncovered. While the meat slow cooks, boil the pasta in salted water until tender. Once tender, drain and add 2 pats of butter along with grated white cheddar cheese. Cook washed asparagus tips in olive oil on med. heat until slightly tender and then finish up on high heat to blacken.
Enjoy Your Meal ~ Guten Apepetit!!!!
