I was asked about BBQ sauce alternatives. I love BBQ sauce, but actually use it rarely. During high summer and Autumn you’ll find me using it more. In my world, heavy sauces are more of a Fall accompaniment. Spring and mid summer I do lighter, fruit, berry or citrus based sauces. It tastes cleaner to me.
I saw a post about cinnamon rolls baked in an orange peel. This intrigued me and I decided that brownies would rock. This lead me to having to do something with the meat of the oranges. Husband ignores me as I stand in the middle of a store, eyes closed, as my mind wonders over the different favors that could work together. Here’s what I created.
Pork Belly in Orange Sauce
1/2 slab of pork belly
4 whole oranges
2 Tablespoons nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1tsp salt
Bunch of parsley, chopped
2 tsp unflavored gelatin
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (helps lend a nutty flavor to the meat)
Halve the oranges and scoop out the meat. Press through a sieve, placing the liquid into a bowl. Mix in all ingredients, except the pork belly. Adjust sugar to taste. Measure out 1/2 cup and set aside. Set the empty orange peel cups aside for use later.
Over hot coals, no flame, place the pork belly on your grill. Brush on the orange sauce. I flip mine frequently to keep from burning. The fat off the pork belly will shoot flames up at your face, so be warned. Brush on sauce every time you flip. Once done, slice pork belly and pour orange sauce over the top before serving.
Brussel Sprouts and Plums
1 lbs brussel sprouts, cleaned and halved
3 medium sized over ripe plums, stone removed and quartered
Handful of honey roasted sunflower seeds
Sprinkle of salt
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water
Add all ingredients to a foil wrap. Place over indirect heat for 40 minutes. Flipping every so often.
Brownies in an Orange Peel Cup
Use your favorite brownie recipe, and place into the empty orange peels from earlier. Be carefully, you need to fill them less than half way up, or they will overflow. Place them on a cookie sheet, then into your covered grill where your coals are now dying. Bake for at least 30 mins, with lid closed, checking on them every 10.
The orange flavor left behind in the chocolate is an amazing combination. Your first bite, (peel the orange off) might have a hint of burnt orange, but after that the flavored combine nicely.
