Simple, Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder

oil or unsalted butter for coating
1 pork shoulder, 4-to-5 lb
salt
freshly ground pepper
1 dash of crushed rosemary

Slow roasting results in tender, juicy pork. Turkey, lamb, beef or veal can be roasted similarly. Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil or butter pork all over. Season fatty outer layer with salt and pepper. Place pork on a roasting rack in a pan. Place pan in center of preheated oven and roast, uncovered. Roast for 30 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature at the thickest point reaches 155°F. (Note: Trichinoisis is destroyed when the internal temperature reaches 139°F for a period of 10 minutes.) Remove from oven. Cover loosely with foil and allow to "rest" for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Pork and Water Chestnut Meatballs

Chopped water chestnuts, mixed with ground pork, give these meatballs crunch. You serve them in a sweet-sour sauce with chunk pineapple and green peppers. Keep them hot in a chafing dish; spear them with wooden picks.
1 lb. ground pork
1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
1/4 c. minced green onion
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/3 c. cornstarch to coat meatballs
3/4 c. cooking oil
1 (20 oz.) can chunk pineapple in unsweetened juice
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger, or 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 green pepper, slivered

Tips: To shape meatballs easily, use a #70 ice cream scoop. Dip in cold water between scoops. You can make the meatballs ahead in the sauce, package and freeze them a week or two. Mix together ground pork, water chestnuts, green onions, garlic, egg, salt, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and soy sauce. Blend well. Shape meat into balls, 1-inch in diameter. Roll in cornstarch. Heat oil in pan. Saute meatballs 10 minutes until browned on both sides; set aside. Drain pineapple juice into saucepan. Stir in ginger, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and becomes clear. Mix in the pineapple and green pepper. Add meatballs and heat through. Keep hot until ready to serve.
