Love it Billy!! Long, low and slow is definitely the way to cook that cut of meat
Today was my youngest daughter's 18th. It was significant in a number of ways. She wanted to go to the Goulburn Workers Club as it was Karaoke night, and got to buy her old dad a drink for the first time.
I had a sing, and won the $100 prize, and will be in the running for $1,000 in two weeks time.
On going to the change box to cash in my $100 voucher, the bloke said "you must be Dr Duck" (the haircut is pretty distinctive), and it turned out to be Eldorado, who I knew lived in Goulburn but had not previously met. It was great to put a face to the forum name, and I'm hoping to get out for a dig with El D. soon.
Anyway, Grace wanted lamb shanks for dinner on her birthday, so I did these,.
8 hour slow braised lamb shanks, finished in the oven and served over the pured and reduced braising sauce, with lemon and parsley oil (with a touch of garlic and white anchovy.) Peas and bacon and crusty bread on the side. Went down well.

Time to kick this thread in the guts!!!
Pork belly that is
Fired up some heat beads for an indirect cook, installed a drip tray and it was game on!
Added some hickory chips to the coals and let the old red girl settle for a while...
Vegetables seasoned with some olive oil and salt/pepper.
Pork had a touch of chilli/canola oil on the meat and a combo of Himalayan salt on the skin (black, pink and white).
Had to resist the urge to check it every 10 minutes and after a couple of hours it came out looking like this....
Gave it an hour of rest time in the esky and finished the crackling under the grill...
The veges tasted alright too
Cheers,
Hungry Billy :lol:

Mouth is watering Billy. Yummo. A couple of my recent efforts.
Cooked dinner for the boys at work the other day. Beef stroganoff was what they asked for.
Then I did a small leg of lamb for Mrs Ramjet and myself.

Mrs RJ likes the shank to chew on
Second daughter has had a hard time lately, so all the girls are home for a while.
Made roast beef with yorkshire pudding, gravy, roast potato and sweet potato, and silver beet.
Youngest daughter made a beautiful apple tart - tart aux fleur de pomme.

Hey Billy,
No, I did not win the $1000, had a pretty heavy cold on the night, but the winning singer was pretty good.
On the $100 night, I sang Jace Everett's Bad Things, Stealer's Wheel Stuck in the Middle, Buble's Spider Man Theme (junky XL remix) and Trace Adkins Honky Tonk Bedonka Donk. I'm not sure which one did the trick, but the crowd normally like Honky Tonk Tonk Bedonka Donk!
I had some old friends visiting on Friday, so I cooked Chinese. I've been interested in authentic Chinese food for a long time now.
The menu was:
Prawn Toasts (wife's favorite).
Seafood and bean curd casserole
Twice cooked pork belly
Dry fried beans with pork mince and pickled vegetables
Braised eggplant with sweet soy and garlic (that was a big hit)
and finally Gong Bao Gai Ding, or Kung Pao Chicken ()
That's the only thing that I have a picture of. Basically it's chicken and peanuts in a spicy sauce with black vinegar and plenty of chilli and Szechuan pepper. It is one of my favorites.

Geez Doc. You put us all in the shade with your outstanding meals. Awesome.
Whenever i get a chance to cook pork belly-it only gets a chance to be cooked once-the Gobble gobble, chomp chomp--burp.

Don't know about that, RJ. I'm very impressed by the slow cooking and home made bacon and stuff you and others put up!
Should get a few of you guys on Master Chef! Otherwise arrange a series called: "cooking - prospector style". I'll join your camp-outs any day
