Cured pork is simply pork that has been salted. I did a quick cure of some off-cuts when I made my prosciutto, because, well, I had to do something with them. It was a slapped together dish, with rustic, fat rolled pasta, and it was way better than I imagined it could be. I think good pork is a great start.
Ingredients
100g pork trimmingsA good sprinkling salt
3 eggs
300g plain flour
2 tbsp butter
10-15 sage leaves
Hard cheese, such as grana style (parmesan) for grating, optional
Preparation
Toss the pork with the salt and leave it for about an hour or so. It will decide how much salt to take up, so don’t be mean with it.Make the pasta by mixing the eggs with the flour until it forms a stiff dough. Roll out until evenly thin on a well-floured board and cut into strips or triangles. Take care that it is well dusted in flour so it doesn’t stick to anything.
When ready to eat, rinse the pork and dice it finely. Fry it in the butter with the sage leaves. Boil the pasta in 3 litres of well-salted water, just until cooked. It should only take a couple of minutes if it’s thin.
Toss the pasta in the buttery pork mixture and serve immediately, perhaps with some grated cheese over the top.

Hot Tips
De-glazing a pan
Adding liquid (such as stock or water) to a pan where food has been sautéed or roasted will help to dissolve the caramelised juices stuck to the bottom. This is a great way to make gravy as it allows for the flavours of the roast to permeate the sauce.
