Sauteed Chestnuts and Pork Skirt
- 150 grams Pork skirt (harami)
- 1/2 small Onion (sliced)
- 7 to 8 Chestnuts
- 2 tbsp Sake
- 1 dash Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 10 grams Butter
- Make a 1cm cut in the bottom of each chestnut with the heel of a kitchen knife.
- Put in a pressure cooker with water to cover.
- Bring the cooker up to pressure, and cook under pressure (after the pin has gone up) over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Leave to cool down and de-pressurize on its own.
- Peel the chestnuts from where you make the cuts (remove the inner skin too).
- Cut the pork skirt into bite sized pieces, sprinkle with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and put into a plastic bag with the sliced onion.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sake to the bag, and rub it into the meat well.
- Leave it to marinate in the refrigerator for an hour if possible.
- Start cooking the pork skirt in a non-stick frying pan, starting with the pieces with fat on them.
- (Don't add oil.)
- When the fat renders from the pork, wipe the pan with kitchen towels.
- Add all the onions (with the marinade) to the pan.
- Saute until the onion is wilted and the meat changes color.
- Add 10 g of butter.
- Add the cooked chestnuts to the pan.
- Mix to coat everything with the butter, and turn off the heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- I used aosa seaweed as garnish.
- You could use dried parsley or toasted nori seaweed instead.
