Comments on: Bucatini all’Amatriciana http://mikes-table.themulligans.org/2009/11/12/bucatini-allamatriciana/ Experiences, experiments, and edible things from Mike's kitchen Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:27:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mac http://mikes-table.themulligans.org/2009/11/12/bucatini-allamatriciana/comment-page-1/#comment-68471 Mac Wed, 13 Oct 2010 01:01:22 +0000 http://mikes-table.themulligans.org/?p=4445#comment-68471 I landed a couple of pork cheeks recently and immediately set about searching a guanciale cure. Found yours and it worked like a charm. I'm sure it helped that I had a drafty Vermont basement to dry in, but it was literally fool-proof. The result has flavor and texture utterly unlike conventional pork belly goods. Now the only problem will be reliably coming up with those fatty jowls. :) I landed a couple of pork cheeks recently and immediately set about searching a guanciale cure.

We've got a great Italian grocery store here that stocks all kinds of interesting things. I think I'll go that route before I start curing my own meat! But I do trust you, and would try this recipe as is before I jumped in and started doctoring. Your description of it makes it sound like my kind of meal - simple and heavenly.
