Belgium Origin

Duke of Berkshire (Kurobuta) Breed

Description

In Japan, this breed is known as Kurobuta pork and is as highly regarded as Wagyu beef. The meat is superbly marbled and is darker and sweeter than regular pork. It is also very tender as the muscle tissue is finer and smaller than in other breeds. Carefully thinly sliced from the belly, this will be perfect for your Sukiyaki or Shabu-Shabu hot pots!

Because of the nature of Kurobuta pork, please note that the layer of fat on these bellies is more predominant than with standard pork. This is good news, as it is the flavour in the fat that makes this breed stand out.

Cooking Instructions

Kurobuta Shabu-Shabu / Sukiyaki - Hot Pot

200g, sliced 1.5–2mm from the belly. Serves 2. Defrost 4–6 hours.

1. Defrost
Move the pack from freezer to fridge. Leave it in its packaging, on a plate. Allow 4 to 6 hours. Slices this thin thaw quickly. Cook within 24 hours. Do not refreeze.

2. Separate the slices while cold
Open the pack as soon as the slices give. They should still be firm. Peel them apart one by one at this point. Fully soft slices tear.

3. Lay them out
A single overlapping layer on a cold plate. Do not pile them. Back into the fridge until the moment you eat.

4. Cook pork through, not pink
This is the one place pork parts company with beef in the pot. Where a beef slice comes out at the first blush of pink, these want a little longer, until the meat has turned opaque all the way through. Allow 45 to 60 seconds rather than five.

For shabu-shabu
Bring a kombu broth to a bare simmer. It should tremble, not boil. Swish one slice at a time until it is opaque throughout, then lift it straight into ponzu or a sesame sauce and eat it immediately. Skim the surface between rounds.

For sukiyaki
Heat a shallow cast iron pan over a medium heat. Add nothing. The belly fat renders within seconds. Lay one or two slices flat for 30 seconds a side, then pour in your warishita of soy, mirin, sake and sugar and let it bubble around the meat. Dip in beaten raw egg, using fresh Lion-marked eggs.

Cook as you eat, in rounds. Never drop the whole plate in. Kurobuta belly carries more fat than standard pork, and the broth will turn heavy if too much goes in at once.

West Flanders Raised

West Flanders is one of Europe's quietly great farming regions, fertile, temperate, and with a deep agricultural tradition. It's here that our Duke of Berkshire pigs are reared: a British heritage breed thriving in Belgian pastures, benefiting from the region's rich soil and unhurried farming culture. The result is heritage pork at its finest, deeply marbled, intensely flavoured, and impossible to replicate with a commercial breed.
