Honey Baked Ham

I love the honey baked ham from the honey baked ham store. But come on the prices are ridiculous high. So here is a copycat recipe of the Honey Baked Ham and it’s not that hard to make at all. You just need the right instrument which is a blowtorch. I bought mine at Marshals.

Babi Ketjap

Babi Ketjap or Babi Kecap Is another Chinese-Indonesian dish of pork belly in ketjap sauce. Uncured Pork belly was hard to come by in the USA but lately I am able to get the pork belly in larger grocery stores.

Kapsalon

Kapsalon, this meal has turned into one of the most popular street foods of the Netherlands has an interesting mix of influences: Dutch and Middle-Eastern. The name kapsalon comes from the Dutch word for hairdressing shop, and the dish itself is a recent invention — it was created in 2003 in Rotterdam.

Cochinita Pibil

Cochinita Pibil Originally from the Yucatan in Mexico. Cochinita means baby pig. So if you want to make true Cochinita Pibil you should be digging a hole in the ground and wrap the pig in banana leaves. Me, I try to do it differently. I am not using a whole pig, I use a pork shoulder, injected the marinade and cooked it in a crockpot. After the meat was done, roasted in the oven on high. I was not able to find the main ingredient for the marinade in the regular store. You probably have to go a Mexican Grocery store to get the achiote seasoning
