Questions about Pickled pork

Should you soak pickled pork before cooking it?

If it tastes very salty, rinse it and soak it in cold water in the fridge overnight, then pour the water away. This takes the edge off the salt before simmering.

What do you serve with pickled pork?

Serve it hot with pease pudding and, in the North East, tuck slices into a stottie. You can also simmer the pork with split peas so its flavour seasons the pudding as it cooks.

How should you store cooked pickled pork?

Cool it and put it in the fridge within 1–2 hours, covered or in a sealed container. Eat it within 2 days, or freeze it for longer storage.

Is pickled pork fattier than corned pork?

Yes. Pickled pork has 18 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 4.1 g in corned pork.

Can you eat pickled pork cold?

Only if it has already been cooked. Raw pickled pork still needs thorough cooking, even if the curing gives it a ham-like appearance.
