Meat Week

Week Seven

Oregon chefs are helping bring back old-fashioned quality, and helping a new generation of ranchers and farmers find a market for their meats. Eli Cairo from Portland’s Olympic Provisions is part of a growing trend of chefs going back to basics, custom cutting and curing their own meats. This week Eli drops by a small pork farm near Eugene and makes tasty charcuterie with their heritage hogs.

Featured Recipe:

Buñuelos de Chorizo

Everyone should know how to make chorizo donuts. Especially with Olympic Provisions’ chorizo.
