Used to be, Dominion Farms was the only local producer raising pork, and it was available from the farm or a retailer like Roy's Natural Market. Now Dominion is selling at three farmers markets: Coppell, McKinney and Frisco (and Rebohoth Ranch is raising pigs, too). I had a chance this weekend to test-drive Dominion's bone-in pork chops and some of the cured bacon. Verdict: It's worth the difference in price. The bone-in chops had a nice edge of fat on one side and grilled up juicy (even the center medallion), with a vivid, almost nutty, flavor. Even I was gnawing the bone. The cured bacon is funky and irregular in size, but again cooks up with such good flavor. I've been putting it in breakfast quesadillas with my favorite canned refired black beans, Zapata (available at Whole Foods Market), which has a perfect spreading consistency. Also BLTs with the Lemleys' tomatoes. |
