DH was working away, so I decided to make a nice dinner for him coming home. I like to think I'm proficient in the kitchen. I found a recipe for a lovely pork casserole using cheeks. Never used them before, but have used beef cheeks and they were super delicious. Went to our local butcher and asked him to order in 12 pork cheeks, which is what the recipe asked for to serve 4. He looked a bit puzzled, but I had my confident pants on and he didn't say anything else. The next day I went to collect, and the butcher appeared with two large bags of meat, 7kg in all, totalling £60 . Obviously it was my stupid mistake, so I didn't say anything, paid and left.
Having got home I've realised that the recipe asked specifically for 12 pork cheek "medallions, not the whole cheek". So I basically have 6 pig's faces in my freezer and no clue what to do with them. Can I make casseroles with the whole cheeks? What can I do with them??
