Event
de Porres Sureña
Angelinos,
Although our tagline is "From Lima to Louisville," late September will land us (and you) squarely in the Bluegrass State. Fittingly, we'll begin with sweet sun tea. Sardines+Toast pays tribute to one of my favorite snacks growing up, when one would need only a can of sardines, saltines, some "hot pickled peppers" from the corner store, and a porch to enjoy them on. Fast forward twenty (or so) years and the sardines will be fresh and house-cured, the pickled peppers and vegetables, too, will be homemade, with toasted bread in place of crackers. Next is "Palla Walla." I imagine many Southern families have some variation of corn, okra, butter, tomatoes, squash, and bacon stewed together, but only mine calls it this. Why? Because my grandfather was fond of unusual, colorful names. We've opted to make a lighter version for de Porres Sureña. The corn and okra will be sauteed instead of cooked in a roux and the tomatoes will be raw. Zucchini flowers will be stuffed with pimento cheese (a mixture of cayenne, cheddar, mayonnaise, and roasted red peppers), tempura battered, and fried. Not my mother's Palla Walla, but I'm sure she'd like it very much.
For a brief second, I debated giving our main course a highfalutin name. Perhaps "upper pork shoulder" as they were called at one startlingly expensive nose-to-tail shop here. But then I consulted Jay Fox, my favorite butcher and the owner of New York's Hudson&Charles. In all caps he admonished me to never "DUMB DOWN FOOD CULTURE." And so we have it. The third dish will be pork necksneck bones, if you willbraised and smothered in gravy. We'll serve them with kale, mustard, and turnip greens(collards have never been my favorite), candied yams, and corn muffins. Peach cobbler with a crust made of lard and butter and topped with vanilla ice cream is for dessert.
This shamelessly piggy affair will take place Sunday, September 28th at 7:30PM. We're thrilled to be back at KesselsKramer Gallery, 963 Chung King Road. Suggested contribution is ninety dollars and includes pairings. RSVP to info@de-porres.com.
Put some South in yo mouth!
