The Mouse style (no recipe).
Start with …
Pork Belly
Browned, lightly salted. Simmered overnight with water, apple cider vinegar, whiskey, liquid smoke, and ginger.
No garlic, The Cat’s stomach and garlic are not friends.
In the morning, added a can of beans.
Can
The Mouse didn’t do the regular pork and beans beans (Navy, I think?) these beans were larger, and since the pork belly was chunky, The Mouse thought a better fit.
Simmered for about half an hour. The Mouse thought about adding a package of gravy, but already flavorful, might be too much.
Pork and Beans, The Mouse Style
Went into The Cat’s bento, and maybe dinner for The Mouse. 🙂
