Recipe: Pork Spiders with Lemon and Rosemary

Yields4 ServingsPrep Time20 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr 5 mins

Tender and flavorful, pork cheeks are pieces that deserve to be known. I can easily find them at the butcher in my market or at a butcher specializing in farm products (pork and poultry). A family dish that we love.

Ingredients
 800 pork spiders
 2 Shallot
 2 Lemon
 4 rosemary or 1 nice sprig
 15 thick cream (or 200 ml)
 2 olive oil
 1 sugar
 1 chopped chives
 4 grated Parmesan
Directions
1

Peel and slice the shallots. Soften them in a pot with the oil for 3 to 4 minutes.

2

Add the pork spiders and brown them for about 5 minutes on each side.

3

Grate the zest of one of the lemons and squeeze the juice from both. Pour over the pork spiders, season generously with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with sugar.

4

Add the rosemary, mix, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes.

5

Pour the cream into the pot, mix to coat the meat well, and let it reduce a bit to achieve a creamy sauce.

6

To finish, sprinkle with chopped chives and serve (in the baking dish if it is presentable) with pasta and grated cheese.
