The Legend of Pork Fussili

Legend has it that once upon a time a guy traveled to California where he had the most amazing, unique meal called Pork Fussili.  It was unlike anything he had had before, a fusion of Asian, Latino and Italian tastes.  The meal was so good that he could not stop thinking about it, but since California was too far to travel when his cravings would strike, he attempted to recreate the dish he remembered.  This took nearly a  hundred attempts but finally he was able to recreate the delicious pork fussili he remembered trying in California.

Lucky for me this guy somehow met my brother Jeff and cooked him this delicious Pork Fussili.  Recognizing a genius dish once he tried it, Jeff pleaded and begged with this guy to share his secret recipe for pork fussili.  The guy did so, but only on the condition that he would steal Jeff's 1st born child if Jeff ever shared the secret. (I made that part up but it had a nice effect, eh?)

After getting the recipe for pork fussili and making it himself for the first time, Jeff bragged to all of our family about this awesome dish and promised us he would make it for us sometime when he was in town (very rare these days!).  The day finally arrived this past Sunday, so we all went to Jeff's for dinner.

The pork fussili was indeed AMAZING! While I fear for the life of my family or any future nieces and nephews, I dare not share the recipe with you, but I will tell you some of the ingredients and tell you how it all works.  Preparing this dish is something it takes an entire day to do.

You must cook a pork shoulder until it is tender enough to pull.

You must make a habanero pesto, using cilantro instead of basil

 

You must boil a combo of ingredients (including pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, etc) to make a tasty sauce.

Boil thick, curly fussili noodles.

Start an assembly line of all prepared ingredients.  In individual bowls put noodles, ladle of sauce, dollop of sour cream, dollop of habanero pesto and top with shredded pork.

Mix ingredients together in your bowl and SHIZZZZAMMMMM, you have Pork Fussili.

 

It is spicy and unlike anything you have ever had before!! Fabulous.

Thanks for making this for us, Jeff! Can't wait to have it again :)

ETA: I just noticed my brother Brian also blogged about our Pork Fussili dinner!
