Lasang Pinoy 11: Sunny Summer Breakfast

I missed LP Pinoy 10 due to a busy schedule. Before I miss the next one, I'd better post one now while there is time(I Love weekends!). I imposed on myself a "NO BLOGGING ON WEEKDAYS"(if i can help it) rule lest I get defocused while working toward my current goal.

A couple of days back. we had roasted pork loin for dinner. Because there were exactly three of us to feast on the big chunk of loin, there was a good amount of leftover fit for another meal. Not wanting to eat the same prep the next time, I decided to make the cooked loin into a hash.

Last night, I sliced the meat into about 1.5 inch squares, seasoned them with salt, some all- spice and sauteed them with onions, garlic, bay leaf and chopped celery. I added the leftover jus,enough corn broth just enough to cover the pork chunks and let the meat slowly simmer unitl the chunks flaked when poked with a fork. I added some freshly grated yellow sweet corn kernels into the pot sometime in the cooking process. Balsamic vinegar was added to create another layer of flavor.

Instead of using regular regular white vinegar(so the egg whites will coagulate) in "boiling" water to poach the eggs, I used about a teaspoon of Raspberry vinegar. This coated the egg with a mild sweet raspberry flavor on the eggs. I think, a nice way to temper the strong white vinegar flavor.

I plated the hash over rice, with the poached egg on top and garnished it with chopped green onions.

This can be a substitute for the usual canned carne norte mornings.

What a beautiful post. I love the shiny egg sitting atop the pork and rice.
And that raspberry vinegar is quite intersting I don't think I have ever come across it.
Great blog by the way.

Thank you for joining LP11! This is our favorite way of recycling roasted pork too, of course with a touch of lasang pinoy always ;-) I love your idea of poaching the egg in raspberry vinegar, very inovative.
