Slow cooking pork cheeks ensures the cheeks aren’t tough and gives the fat time to render out, making them melt-in-your-mouth tender.

How to Make Pork Cheeks
Ingredients
- 12 pork cheeks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Redmond Real Salt
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups bone broth beef, pork or chicken broth (I used Kettle and Fire Brand)
- 1 handful fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320 degrees F (160°C).
- Trim the cheeks of any sinew and season on all sides with salt.
- Heat a tablespoon of lard, tallow or duck fat in a large Dutch Oven over medium high heat. Once hot sear the pork cheeks on one side for 2 minutes, flip and cook another minute or until slight golden brown.
- Remove the browned cheeks while leaving the drippings. Add the onion and garlic in the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Return the cheeks to the Dutch oven. Add a handful of fresh thyme, bay leaves and pepper.
- Pour in bone broth to cover the cheeks, put the lid on and slow cook in the oven for 2–3 hours, or until the cheeks are very tender and almost falling apart.
- Remove the bay leaves. Serve with sauce from the Dutch oven. Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the cheeks and sauce into a casserole dish and bake in the oven at 300 degrees F for 7 minutes or until heated through.

I haven’t had them either. But it sounds pretty darn good! I’ll try JUST about anything once lol.
I’ll have to find a video on how to harvest them from wild pig (and show it to the boys because I don’t help to process the animals lol). We got a pig last week but sold it to a woman that makes tamales, but there are PLENTY more out there! 🤞
Thanks Maria!
Enjoy!! 🙂
