  1. In Spain, we eat these things like crazy.
    We like to roast in a rotisserie-like manner with a kebab stick.
    It is also served with a side dish of oven-baked potatoes, drenched in the juices from the meat, and some allioli sauce.

  2. Made this for our Christmas dinner this year. Did substitute a fairly sweet, fruity red wine for the cider. Many thanks to chef John for the recipe! We had an excellent dinner with some of the juiciest, most tender and butter-soft meat in our lives. Unlike many other stew cuts this stays absolutely perfectly moist even without a drop of the delicious sauce. Flavourwise it's reminiscent of wild boar, but friendlier and sweeter and without the bitter notes that can occasionally come through with wild meats. My local butcher now sees me as his new best friend for having requested this fine delicacy instead of steak or ribs.

  3. i add a bit of smoked bacon in with the carrot, onion and celery, plus a little vegetable stock with the cider. i've added diced apple in the past too, which can give it extra depth, & i also like fresh thyme in there… but that's my quirks, this is still a great recipe to work from, very well explained. good channel.

  4. My dad used to eat pigs cheeks about 50 years ago. I remember they had more fat on them, and were rolled into a cone and coated in breadcrumbs. They were eaten with English Mustard and they were called 'Bath Chaps'.

  5. Absolutely delicious! Tried these out tonight and they were a crowd pleaser for sure. For some odd reason, my cheeks barely took two hours to cook on the stove's absolute lowest setting, and yet they were bigger than his. Served them on a bed on mashed sweet potatoes and it worked fantastically. Definitely will do it again.

  6. I know this is for pork but can this recipe be used for beef cheeks? My daughter gave me 2 packages from a wonderful farm near her that raises all their meets to very high standards.Will this recipe adapt for beef?

  7. 3:45 "… which you don't." I'll have you know good sir I keep my kitchen well stocked with every type of stock from veal to vegetable and I most definitely have (checks pantry)… oh well heh heh seems chef John is right and I will be purchasing some big thick soup bones asking with a generous fatty shoulder right away.
