Eggs Benedict with Kale and Roasted Tomatoes – Charcutepalooza #4

Eggs Benedict with Kale and Roasted Tomatoes – Charcutepalooza #4


It’s hard to believe that a whole month has passed since my first foray into the world of Charcutepalooza, but here I am again with another post dedicated to the fine art of charcuterie.  If you’ll recall, my last Charcutepalooza post was for Corned Beef Hash, and was crafted to meet that month’s challenge which was all about brining.  This time around came the call for a brined and hot smoked pork loin in order to make a homemade “Canadian Bacon”.

Now I don’t know about any of you, but the words Canadian Bacon conjure only one image in my mind, and that would be a delectable Eggs Benedict (Hmmm…I actually just had another one pop into my head, but if it’s all the same to you, we won’t be discussing Egg McMuffins today, OK?).  I’m sure there will be a delightful variety of non “eggs benny” recipes posted by other Charcutepaloozers (thats loozers, not losers), but for me, the darling of brunch menus everywhere, the Eggs Benedict, is the highest and best use of the lovely bacon we’ve made.

Sausage and Chicken Jambalaya

Sausage and Chicken Jambalaya


This was a dish we pulled together a few weeks ago to feed a large gang heading North with us for one of our last ski weekends of the season.  It was a great prep ahead dish that Boris helped me with the day before we traveled.  He’s my go-to guy for prep that requires lots of knife work, as he is always looking to hone his skills in this area.  By dicing and chopping all of our chicken, veggies and pork products in advance, all that was required after our full day of skiing was a quick saute of our prepped meats and veggies, the addition of some stock, rice and spices, and then popping the whole lovely concoction into the oven to bake.

New England – Corned Beef "Boiled Dinner"

New England – Corned Beef "Boiled Dinner"


When I was a kid, my Mom made “New England Boiled Dinner” fairly frequently, though she generally made it with a picnic ham, as corned beef was a little trickier to come by.  Almost everyone I know cooks this dish on St. Patrick’s Day, so I’ve always assumed that it is a traditional Irish dish.  It turns out that’s not quite the case, and most folks living in Ireland wouldn’t recognize this bugger at all.  Our associating this dish with the Irish has more to do with its adoption into their culture by Irish-Americans, many of whom landed here in New England and have made this dish a staple of their cuisine.
