CONFIT
You need a cut of pork with fat, i.e. the butt. Break up the meat into
large chunks. Scatter a layer of rock salt in the bottom of a large bowl.
Sprinkle over some thyme, half the head of garlic and the crushed white
peppercorns. Put a couple of the pieces of meat on this then cover with
another layer of salt, thyme, crushed garlic, pepper then another layer of
meat. Keep in a dry and warm place for 36 hours.
After 36 hours, rinse the preservatives off the meat and pat dry with
kitchen paper so it does not spit in the oil. In a large pot, melt some
goose fat and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the pork and let the
meat cook for 3 hours on a very slow heat. Add another tin of goose fat to
the pot and a head of garlic, then another tin of goose fat.
After 3 hours, lift the pork out with tongs and let it cool on a plate.
Take a storage jar, and put some of the goose fat in the bottom. Put the
pork pieces on top and fill up , leaving an inch space at the top of the
jar, with more goose fat. Tap the jar to get rid of any air pockets and
fill all the gaps with fat. When the contents of the jar have cooled down,
melt some lard into the top of the jar to seal it, place the lid on and put
it in the fridge or a cool place to store.
Heat the base of the jar of pork confit over a stove to remove the lard
seal and melt the confit fat. Put a pot of boiling water on for the
zampone. In a casserole dish add the panchetta, confit fat, garlic, diced
onion, celery and diced carrots. Cook out with thyme and 2 bay leaves for
8-10 minutes. Put the Zampone which is in a sealed air tight bag into the
boiling water and let it cook for 30 minutes. When it is cooked, remove it
from the bag and let it cool down.
After 10 minutes, add to the casserole dish the lentils, cepes and 1 tsp of
the juices of the cepes, remembering to sieve out the grit. Add in the
bottle of red wine, baby onions, tomato puree, the wrapped rind and chicken
stock and let everything simmer for 1 1/2 hours. After this time, remove
the wrapped rind from the pot. Cut the zampone into slices about 1 inch
thick. With a ladle, spoon some of the lentils on the bottom of a serving
dish and then place some of the chunks of sausage. Add some of the pork
confit and scatter more of the lentils on top, Repeat, and end with some
chunks of zampone on top.
