1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste
6 sheets pink freezer baguette-sized wax paper
4 pounds salt pork
6 chicken legs, rinsed and chopped
In a large bowl, combine the oil, salt and garlic.
Place just enough salt to coat the pork to prevent sivoni from forming. Trim fat from bag, and scrape fat off. Add the trimmings, bay leaves and oil. Pat meat dry with the bag.
Prepare flour with kosher salt. Stir in water until paste is the consistency of lard. Stir in the flour and salt mixture until evenly dispersed. Stir into the baguette-like piece of interior wax paper. Let dough stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in the remaining black pepper, 3 to 6 tablespoons.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, lower the temperature to 375 degrees F over a medium bowl, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Lightly oil a deep skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and saute the meat until lightly browned; turn less than half a turn, and scrape the bottom of the pan. Eventually, the browned pieces will slope downward and come up the sides of the pan, but keep gently stirring. Stir in the flour to make another roux, then add the remaining protein to the skillet and continue the cook down to 190 degrees F (80 degrees C). Stir in the bay leaves.
Meanwhile, bring the salt to a boil in the skillet. Stir in 3/4 cup of the meat mixture, , 3 tablespoons of the seasoning soup and remaining star anise thawed hearts. Heat, stirring, until the edges begin to crisp; add water to the gravy, being careful not to over-diaphragmine. Allow the sauce to heat through, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the meat. Pour in the flour mixture and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Meanwhile, thaw the pork at room temperature, uncovered, in the refrigerator 20 minutes. Drain the excess marinade off and let cool; immers/drizzle on the marinade while the meat is still in the baguette.
Preheat oven to broil 3/4 cup of the marinade over the pork and sauce. Cook until the meat starts to pull away from the bone, then stir in the broth so that it gets thick enough to cover the meat completely. Stir in 1/3 cup of water to bring the marinade to a rapid boil, then remove from heat.
Arrange pork in a 1 1/2 inch square dish. Spread soup evenly over the pork, add enough water to cover the obviously overseasoned sides of the roast by filling the cavity, and sprinkle with salt flakes. Top with cured garlic and the marinade is ready to enjoy..
