Pasture-Raised Mangalitsa · Bone-In
A pork chop with enough fat to forgive you.
Mangalitsa is a lard hog. The fat runs through the muscle instead of sitting around the edge, and that is what keeps this chop juicy at 145°F when a lean supermarket chop would already be dry.

What makes it different
Mangalitsa
is a Hungarian lard breed — curly-coated, slow-growing, and bred for fat rather than lean muscle.
A commodity pork chop
comes from a hog bred to be lean. There is very little fat inside the muscle, so a few degrees too far and it is dry.
This chop
is marbled through, and the bone slows the cooking on one side. Both of those work in your favor.
We leave the bone in on purpose. It insulates the meat next to it and buys you a margin of error a boneless chop cannot give you.
From the farm
A Mangalitsa takes about twice as long to finish as a commercial hog. That is the whole reason the fat is there, and it is why we never have many of them at one time.
How to cook it
01
Salt it early. An hour ahead on the counter, or overnight in the fridge, uncovered on a rack.
02
Hot pan first, then turn it down. Sear both sides hard, then drop the heat and let it come up gently. The fat renders as it goes.
03
Pull it at 145°F. Instant-read thermometer into the thickest part, away from the bone.
04
Rest three minutes. That is the rest the USDA calls for, and it is where the juice settles back into the meat.
