Finally tried this recipe after salivating while watching Big Daddy cook it on his show. I had just one lb. of pork belly, so I used half the amount of ingredients. Did not have fresh jalapenos so used the bottled kind; only had button mushrooms, too. It didn't matter because everyone LOVED it. I'm not accustomed to eating fat, but braising it with the combination of the vinegar and other flavors made the dish absolutely delicious! Didn't make the pesto spread (maybe next time just served it with white rice, and the family was nagging me to make it again soon! Love the flavors that Big Daddy puts together; very disappointed his show is on too early in Hawaii=( Can you change this, Food Network?? We miss seeing him!!

I used this recipe today and it is delicious!! I used pork shoulder butt instead of the belly. I followed the recipe only changes made was that I used two chilli peppers instead of the other peppers mentioned. I added two teaspoon of fennel seeds and one bay leaf. Everything thing else was by the recipe. I cooked for in the oven 45 mins. The shoulder meat was sooo tender and the favor, lightly sweet with a hint of heat. The mushrooms were juicy delicious, my wife loved the dishe ( always a win. We did not even make sandwhiches.. I made cheese potatoes and greens for the side dishes. I used the meat and spooned the juices over..... Simply Declious.. I have saved this recipe and I will make this one again!! This is a winner, winner , pork dinner.

I know this is off topic, but I didn't know where else to ask : I was watching this episode and after I finished salivating over the slammin' sandwich recipes I noticed a BEAUTIFUL area rug in the room behind the kitchen. If anyone has this episode recorded and can identify that rug, please please post. I've looked all over the internet for it. Thanks.

By the way, I tried Aaron's Mini Shephard's Pie and it is now my daughter's favorite dinner.

DOES NOBODY AT FN MONITOR THESE? EVERYONE ON HERE IS LOOKING FOR SOME OTHER RECIPE SO BASICALLY THESE REVIEWS ARE POINTLESS. I THINK MAYBE 4 ARE FOR THE ACTUAL SANDWICH POSTED. I SUGGEST CONTACTING FN NOT POSTING UNDER A DIFFERENT SANDWICH.

I followed the recipe exactly. I LOVED the flavors but found this cut of meat to be WAY too fatty. Any suggestion for different cuts of meat would be appreciated.

I made them last night directly from LaKeisha's write up and they came out great. Oh and just a tip to help with the chipping. Keep a small bowl of very hot water next to your cutting board, when your finger tips get frozen just dip em in for a second and continue to cut. That way you don't try to hurry and loose something important!
