I’ve been working on the Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice recipe for a while now and think that I’ve finally found the perfect flavour and texture profile.

Porketta Galettes with Dill BBQ Sauce
This Porketta Galette recipe is most likely considered sacrilege considering that it calls for a giant piece of porketta to be chopped and turned into a ground version of it’s former self.
