![]() ![]() From this area of the animal, we receive cuts like tenderloins, loin roasts, rib and loin chops. This area of the animal receives very, very little ‘exercise,’ and as such is the most tender part of the pig. The pork loin is a large cut of meat, running from the back of the animal’s shoulders to the front joints of its hind legs. Beyond that, according to Leaf other substitutes include cumin, caraway, and dill. Substitution: Anise seeds are the closest substitute in terms of flavor, and can stand in at a one-to-one amount. ![]() However, in recipes like today’s pork chops they bring an unmistakable ‘herbal sweetness’ to the flavor profile. In things like stuffing, stews, and roasts, the ‘flavor’ of the seeds is largely overpowered, making whole fennel preferably in such recipes, lest they take a decidedly background role. In other words, they pack less of a punch but are easier to cook with. These have a similar taste and aromatic profile to fennel, which is to say ‘fresh licorice,’ except notably subtler than their ‘whole’ or ‘grown’ counterparts, and without the need to account for chunks of fennel in the recipe. In fact, ‘Light’ olive oil actually has a higher smoke point than vegetable oil, while Extra Virgin Cold Pressed olive oil will start to burn away at merely a ‘low simmer.’ However, since we’re not ‘deep frying’ the pork chops, and since a fair bit of the oil will be seeping into the meat, we want the superior flavor of a quality olive oil.ģ) Fennel Seeds. Curiously, the lower the quality your olive oil, the ‘higher’ its smoke point. The reason is that most olive oils have a relatively low ‘smoke point,’ which is the temperature at which the olive oil begins to burn away, giving your food a rancid taste and sapping its nutrients. Use vegetable oil for pretty much every other cooking application. Oddly, Italian-style breadcrumbs are rarely toasted in olive oil, and even when they are the olive oil is usually a cheap ‘light’ olive oil.Ģ) Oil For Frying - Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil? The rule of thumb is this – olive oil gives superior flavor and health benefits, but ‘only’ when cooking at lower temperatures of no more than roughly 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or when barbecuing over ‘gentle’ flames. These are probably the most common type of breadcrumbs on American store shelves after ‘regular’ breadcrumbs, but what are they ‘really?’ Basically, they’re ‘regular’ breadcrumbs but with some combination of dried basil, oregano, and parsley, along with a copious amount of salt and black pepper – and that’s pretty much it, though some brands may include red pepper as well. ![]()
