Or winter or even spring you know you want some hearty and warm and delicious and this recipe really fits that bill though you can make it any time of the year so we’re going to take pork we’re going to add honey and rosemary and all kinds of other great ingredients and
We’re going to roast this we’re going to it’s fun it’s it’s out of one pan um you play a little today we’re playing Dean Martin we’re playing some Dean Martin in the kitchen it’s going to take you about an hour and a half fully so get around

Become part of the cooking Italian Joe family all right what do you say let’s go over ingredients let’s start having some fun first you’re going to need is filet of pork now this H pork is about 3 lbs next you’re going to need panen I
Got here about a half a pound about 8 ounces pork belly uh cured and smoked is is bacon a pork belly with spicing seasoned and cured that’s Panetta so here I’ve got Panetta 8 oz it’s better with Panetta traditionally made with Panetta I would give Panetta I’m just
Saying bacon will work you know what I mean but I mean we’re making an Italian Dish you know what I’m saying hey hey next we’ve got shallot so we’ve got three lounds of pork so we’re going to go one shallot per pound is the Jo boreo way okay so that’ll that’ll kind of
Break it up shallots are great they’re an onion but they’re a little sweeter they’re they’re more delicate and flavor you don’t get that that punch that you would with an onion then we’re going to go with garlic so garlic same idea oh I love garlic so good so we’re going to
Want three cloves you’re going to have one big clove of garlic per pound of pork now we got Ginger here so Ginger is a main ingredient along with the honey and the Rosemary and ginger gives it it’s very earthy it’s got a little punch
To it unless you cook it down and it is delicious so we’re going to add a big thumb so figure you’re going to add a big hunk of thumb size Ginger per pound we got three PBS so three thumbs kind of it does kind of look like a really big
Thumb doesn’t it I don’t know whatever okay now you’re going to need Rosemary gosh that is just it is so so delicious Rosemary I just love it so again one sprig one sprig per pound there’s something in uh in like herbal medicine and I think it’s Rosemary and it says
The like if you smell or eat Rosemary it helps you with your memory I can’t remember what it is you know what it’s got to be oregano all right all right that was terrible Hey listen they’re not all going to be winners man you know I don’t have a team wri that’s obvious
Right all right now we got time time is a very very earthy time goes so good with any really type of protein in general so we got a we’ve got a three kind of small clumps so one clump of time per pound is how we’ll how we’ll
Divid it up now we’re gonna need honey we’re gonna need a lot of honey just so you know it’s Italian cooking so it’s like Nona like how much Nona oh about to this much you know what I mean so it’s you’re going to want about five tablespoon six tablespoons of honey try
To get the real good unfiltered the really good honey and that’s going to add sweetness next you’re going to use some butternut squash I’ll tell you why I love butternut squash butternut squash adds flavor it’s sweet but a sweet potato is way too sweet for me in this
Dish so we already have the honey so I like that that delicious flavor of the pumpkin again and give gives you that that flavor That season of the year um so we’re going to add one whole this is a smaller one butternut squash and we’ll
Cube that up and we’ll put that in there to roast it next ingredient you’re going to need guys is two cups of stock now you can use any kind of stock you want I prefer chicken stock you can use beef vegetable next you’re going to need some
Salt so I’m big on the French cheese salt the pink Himalayan salt try to get the Real Salt it’s much healthier for you it’s Briny it’s earthy and you can you can get that oh hello to you my little friend it’s a French sea salt you know what I’m saying
So all right I’m sorry I apologize I haven’t had anything to drink it must be the doo I got deart play today all right and I’ve got fresh ground pepper we’re going to crank on that and then we’re going to want a cast iron pan next you’re going to want your cast iron
Dutch oven okay with a lid that’s going to be really important you’re also going to need some oliveo so anyone new to our Channel we own a farm in ILY in Pula right above the heel we actually make our own olive oil and we co-op with a
Whole group of farms to ship it right here in the United States to bring you some of the best true real authentic extra virgin Italian olive oil you’re ever going to have I named the company after my two sons veto and Joe and I’d love for you guys to grab a couple of
Bottles couple of cases whatever and I know what you’re thinking Joe how do I get it okay I’m G to tell you so go on the link cookie and tal and Joe our website or Instagram or Facebook or YouTube description just click buy it now we’ll actually drop ship it right to
Your front door step I always think of it as as taking a trip to Italy you know right right in a bottle okay guys it’s time to start cooking I’m going to invite you right over here on the stove so in my cast iron guys I’ve got about 3
Tblspoon of Von Joe’s extra virgin olive oil and I want to bring this up to a nice hot level not necessarily fry but really warm now guys we’re going to put our Panetta in the oil and what we’re trying to do here is we’re flavoring the
Oil so get all your pork belly in there I also want to get the fat out of that Panetta which is is going to add some just delicious flavor to our pork so once it starts to Brown we’re done and then we’ll take that pett out while that’s finishing up guys let’s season
Our pork take about a tablespoon and a half and salt and then get it around your pork get the sides the belly now what’s real important guys is the the salt will actually absorb into the pork as it Cooks pork’s ready to go in guys everything’s browned up real good so I’m
Going to take the Panetta out don’t turn the heat down put your petta back in the bowl and we’re going to add this back here in a little bit now we’re going to sear the pork all sides so we want to get it nice Brown and caramelized and
Crispy be careful now our oil’s hot so take your pork and just gently set it in now the goal here guys is to go about 2 to 3 minutes on each side guys while that pork is searing let’s get our chot ready real simple kind of a rough rustic
Prep you guys just cut these in half and then you want maybe a/ in slice our shallots are good let’s check our Ginger and I’m going to peel my Ginger oh the aroma of Ginger is so delicious now in our Ginger we’re going to make some Thin
Slices of it Ginger set I need three large cloves of garlic now I’ve seared every side just leaning up against the side 3 minutes look how beautiful that is nice and caramelized all the way through so I’m going to go fat side down cuz I want all that fat to still
Caramelize more last guys I want to get my butternut squash going now we’re going to clean that out and now guys we’ll Cube this up and we’re looking for for chunks about that size last and one of my favorites guys garlic you ready so I’m going to give these a whack damn
Garlic’s so fresh it’s flying all over the floor and now guys with our garlic we want to chop it up nice big chunks and we’re good all right let’s go check on our meat okay guys our meat is set so I’m going to go fats side down we’ve got
A beautiful golden sear all the way around the meat and now real slow I’m going to add my chicken stock and that’s going to slow the cooking process down as I turn down the heat turn the heat down to medium our goal here is 145 so we’re looking for an
Internal temp of 145 I’m going to go ahead and just add my honey right on top and we’re just glazing the top with honey go ahead and add my Panetta add my Rosemary I’m going to add my garlic put the garlic and everything else around the outside in the liquid add my Ginger
Add my shallots I’m going to add my butternut squash I’m going to add my Thyme and last guys I’m going to add a good teaspoon of black pepper now let’s cover this up let some magic happen okay guys we got the lid on I got to take one
Oh the aroma that puppy is good all right guys we’re going to go about 45 minutes but every 15 minutes we’re going to move things around make sure the vegetables are cooking evenly after about 45 minutes total we’re going to take the vegetables out or most of them
And then we’re going to let the meat cook for about another 45 minutes so we’re about an hour and a half total time and we’re looking at about A45 internal temperature of your pork and then it’s eat time talk to you guys in a bit first off the aroman in the
Kitchen unbelievable secondly it took us just over an hour about an hour and 5 minutes internal temp was at45 so it’s perfect that’s going to give you a nice really tender juicy pork line which is what we want now I left a lot of the
Juices in the pot in the pan and I wanted them to Bubble down I wanted them to thicken just a little bit more and my tip is that I like to I like to serve that on the side as almost like a s so I
Could put that over the top of my sliced pork okay guys favorite time of every video it’s taste time that is that delicious or what all right so we’re going to cut this up now I like to cut this a little bit thinner oh yeah you can tell just now absolutely perfect so
I’m going to go ahead and put this back in my tray taste time so I’m going to go ahead and grab a couple pieces of pork so tender and juicy and then I’m going to go ahead and grab some of my squash now I want to take that reduced sauce I
Don’t want to put that right over the top so that’s got my Ginger my honey all my herbs my Panetta okay it’s taste time guys I’m grab just a little bit of that butternut squash and right there I’ve got onion sauce you guys ready for this
Can you get the aroma of that right there I don’t mean to be teasing you but does that look awesome or what I wish I could put it right through the camera the aroma unbelievable M mhm immediately you get the sweetness Ginger and honey and then
You’re get in the aroma of the pork the pork is just perfect it’s tender it’s moist and the onions The Panetta the Rosemary the thyme and your shallots you can just get that backdrop those notes of onion garlic M the sauce is absolutely the die far the veto enjo
Olive oil obviously is fantastic all right one more one more the Rosemary coupled with the with the pork and then the sweetness of the ginger and honey I don’t know what it is but man that is good it just it stimulates Italy it stimulates the cooking it it brings it
