Stuffed pork flank with ham and hard boiled eggs

by | Feb 17, 2016 | Meat dishes

Pork flank or dagadó in Hungarian belongs to those meats unfairly ignored that have only limited role in the kitchen. My aim is to change this approach. Flank is a boneless part of the bottom abdominal area of the pig that can be found after the ribs, near the rear ham. It’s a bit fatty, but for this reason pork flank roast is one of the most savory meat dishes.

Stuffing is the best way to prepare pork flank. I recommend you to ask the butcher to cut a pocket into the meat, so you can save yourself a lot of trouble, namely cutting your hand or piercing through the meat accidentally. What I really like about making stuffed pork flank is that the stuffing’s composition only depends on my imagination. Playing with the ingredients feels like release.

This time I chose ham and hard boiled eggs, turbocharged with parsley and summer savory. Summer savory imparts a delicious taste to almost any dish. In medieval times it was added to pies and cakes; today it’s primarily used in soups, stews, and marinades, and with meats and vegetables.

I often use oven bag for roasts as it doesn’t require additional grease, and meat, due to steam, becomes very juicy and tender, without drying out. For the perfect result I baked the flank for nearly two hours at 180°C.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
