Poached pig jowl with garlic and paprika

[atomicsmoke]

One jowl and small piece of breast.

Poached

A head of garlic after mortar and pestle had their way with it.

Garlic paste applied while still warm, then Szeged paprika sprinkled over it.

I am going to cold smoke them a little, then vacpack to press the condiments into the fat.

Pork jowls....yum. Were they cured or fresh? I can find them cured sometimes and i think they make superior bacon. The brutish way you're treating them though.....this I like.

Cheers!
