Schinkenspeck is bacon on steroids. It is pork that is cured and double smoked. This beautiful piece was found at Dittmers Wurst Haus a German butcher house extraordinaire. Sckinkenspeck is fully cooked and just needs to be warmed. It can add tons of flavor to many dishes. This weeknight we just threw some ingredients together and had flavorful success.
Fresh English shelling peas were found at Monterey market. These peas are a treat with their sweet pop of flavor. Mushrooms, olive oil, and garlic were quickly stirred in a hot pan. The peas and schinkenspeck were added to warm through. A splash of salt & pepper seasoned our saute pan of schinkenspeck love.. This was all tossed with pasta and parmesean cheese. Dinner is served
This was a quick and easy meal. Schinkespeck is the hero of our meal. How can one have so much fun in the kitchen?
The Monterrey Market rocks! Never heard of Schinkenspeck but it sounds great. I could eat that pasta all day.
ReplyDeleteIt is a toss-up between Berkeley Bowl West and Monterey for me. They are both good. The best is the Friday Richmond Farmers Market which I will be working at tomorrow. Stop on by if you can.
ReplyDeleteLooking good as always. HamBacon is always a winner in my book...
ReplyDeleteI used to live a few blocks from Ditmer's. And I also used to live a few blocks from Cosentino's restaurant, back when it was a German place. :)
ReplyDeleteThree Dogs BBQ, It is one of my favorites in the bacon family.
ReplyDeletecookiecrumb, Do I venture to Marin early Sunday morning? Will Zuckerman Farms have green gold that I crave? The anticipation is killing me.
CB, let me check with Rob. Yes, he says he'll try. I won't go because I'm still bummed out about my broken foot.
